I have completed installing all the toroidal components. I had wound L1 to L6 while waiting for those missing capacitors to arrive at the beginning of the build. Then, I wound L7 and L8 in sequence.
| Here are L1 to L8, ready for tinning and installation. |
| Here are L1 to L8 installed on the main board. It's worth noting that it took a lot of heat and a lot of solder and a larger tip to successfully heat-strip the #20 wire. I always like to use some very fine grit sand paper on the leads after heat-stripping and before installation. |
Winding and installing RFC2 and T1 completed construction of the main board. Back to the small tip for heat-stripping the #26 wire.
| Here is a detail of RFC2 installed. |
 |
Here is a detail of T1 installed. You can also get a good view of D1 and D2 as well as C31 (mentioned in an earlier post). |
| I wrapped up today's session by getting started on the front panel board. The next step is to install all the front panel LEDs and I want to be fresh for that. |
