Sort of at an impasse for the time being. Can't do much else until I cut the pot shafts and replace the power tube sockets. But I got most of the switch stack done (at least all I can for the moment).

Super neat build.

Hi,

I think so!
Especially, if you are able to get the original Transfomers for your nice masterpiece  :topjob:

Hmm, I don't know anybody who is able to get original DeYoung transformers for their DIY build. They don't sell them to the public. I'm using O'Netics "Hi-Def." But I believe Soldano actually uses this transformer set in their other amps (Avenger, Hot Rod, etc.), just not the SLO. So it's close enough for me! :)

Been busy with work and life and such lately. But managed to make a little more progress: Pot shafts are cut to correct size now, started on wiring 'em up. And got new power tube sockets.

More progress today. Just the two shielded coax cables going from the gain pots to V1 and V2. They took a while to do because of how perfect you have to strip them, get the lengths correct, and splice in a resistor on V2. But having the coax stripper really helps. I had to adjust the blade depth a few times to get it right. Out of the box it was cutting through the shield. Here's what it looks like all stripped and tinned. Nice and perfect! :D You know it's tinned well when you can still see the braid. Too much solder and each wire in the braid would be covered.



I had a heart attack when I went to check continuity on the coax. I was getting a short between the shield and the conductor. And I was like FUCK! I'm gonna have to redo this all again! But then I realized the gain pots were on zero, thus shunting to ground. I was super relieved. :)

Where is he? Haven't seen him on here lately and I sent him a PM about a month or two ago. No response.

Heaters are finally done. Phew! Took longer than doing it the usual way with twisted pairs. But I think overall it was easier. Sure as hell looks better too.

I have some parts on the way for the elevated heater mod too. Just a cap and two resistors for referencing to the choke on pin 6 of the power tubes. Then I can do the faux center tap and finish the rest of the power sockets. Then put in the transformers and start on the power section.
