Amp is back on the road again in the Pelican case. Yesterday I drew up some more schematicky schematics that I will include in the build document. Placed an order for new set of Lundahl iron and shields for the instructional build, 4-5 week wait time for those so that will be the rate limiting step. BOM document is 80% done, I will try to finish that this weekend. Next will be adding test points to the PCB and ordering the new boards. I am going to look over the chassis once more and make sure there is nothing I want to adjust last minute, then that will be ordered.
Remember how ELMA messed up the first switch I ordered from them? I received the replacement. It is the higher torque model, requires a little more force to turn compared to the first switch, thought I'd give both a try and see which is preferred. I was a little concerned about the dexterity required to solder the 2x14 pins to the switch, but I made a little harder than I needed to on the first go around, I have a method that will make it a non issue. Good thing, as the whole point of using a PCB-based switch was to make the work simple. Doing point-to-point work on a complicated switch would definitely be a turn off for some people, I've really tried to make building this circuit as simple as possible.
The amplifier made it in a CanJam impressions video, my five seconds of fame.
