Post pics of your builds.... - Page 96

post #1426 of 8502
Actually I do quite a bit of picture/print framing and I cut some pieces of glass from scrap. The glass is very clear as it is meant to provide an undistorted view of the work behind it.

Wow, I like it. Very nice work.

First Cmoy

This is my first Cmoy. Next one will have biggers caps, and will fit in a smaller case and it will not be running of batteries.




I didn't know the pot would be so hard to solder ! I broke one and I had to redo it! Cat5 cables are way to fragile!

The view slots have glass in them and the top is brushed aluminum.
Nice! It seems like the Milletts here are getting most attention for unique casing.

Congrats on the first build! The solder joints look a bit globby, but I'm sure it'll be much easier the second time around. How are you going to power the cmoy? Wallwart & tread?

Thanks!

It was hard to work on smaller parts because my soldering iron was too big. I will take a wallwart for my next project and I will try to find smaller sized cap. The .47uf at 250v is kind of useless... I will try to find some locally at lower voltage.

I did notice that. Something about tubes maybe...

Yours looks very professional. If I were to ever purchase an amp from a company, I would hope that it has the attention to detail that your amp does. My case was rather constraintive on what components I could use to go through the panels as the front and back were rather thick (7/16) and I wanted a very minimalist number of protrusions through the wood and nothing but the tubes on top. Couple questions: What banana plug jacks did you use for those test points? Did you do the silkscreen on the outside of the case yourself? If so, how? If not, where did you have it done?

The test probe sockets are from Digikey
Red: 105-1042-001
Black: 105-1043-001

My case was laser engraved which 'burned' the black layer off revealing the aluminum. It was done at a laser engraving center at the University I attend.
Thanks for the kind comments.

Dear rreynol,

Where you got your transformer? That's really small, good for small headamp.


Thanks!!!

Nice and clean Fitz,
You even made it look like it was crossing I'm lovin it.
By the way, what design is that?

Nice wood enclosure quicksilver96. I like the grain and the stain used.

It's the modified Linkwitz crossfeed by Chu Moy, I didn't feel like buying the PCB and then also having to properly mount it, so I just did up one channel on stripboard and mirrored it to the other half

I agree very nice job on the casework and it's only a crossfeed. I'd love to see pics of some bigger projects.
