Keep at it Taylor your doing a fine job.

Checking in...

Got my board all mounted and what not.

Trying to get the reverb driver wired in so I can start wiring up the board.

Did I do this correctly?

Red to B2

Black will be ground (jacks are isolated, I will eventually ground them to the pots)

green is to one of the jacks, then the other jack is going to the grid of V2, blue coming from the driver is to the plate of V3??

I threw a 220k resistor into the grid of V2 in parallel with the wire.

It's tough to see through the board of normsters layout. if you guys could let me know if this is right it would be great.

i saw in angelodp's layout there is a resistor coming from B2?? Do i need to plan on reducing voltage from that point? or am i good coming right off there to the driver?

Red to B2

Ange - Yes, but I created an additional node with a resistor and extra cap

Black will be ground (jacks are isolated, I will eventually ground them to the pots)

Ange - Yes, tie both jack grounds together and run back to pot bus bar.

green is to one of the jacks, then the other jack is going to the grid of V2, blue coming from the driver is to the plate of V3??

Ange - Green to the output jack, other jack to pin 2 of V2, Blue from driver to pin 1&6 ( tied ) V3,

I threw a 220k resistor into the grid of V2 in parallel with the wire.

220k is from ground to pin2 of V2

Ange - That resistor and the additional cap create the extra node in my build. Norm does it differently and I am not sure how to guide you on that.

Driver red to B+2
Black to ground tab Red RCA jack
Green to tip of Red RCA jack
Blue to pin 6 across to pin 1 on V3
V2 pin 7 to tip of other Black RCA jack
220K from V2 pin 7 to Black RCA jack ground lug

awesome. i def had it wrong.

rewired the 220K resistor. everything else seemed to check out. I drilled the holes in the chassis too big and had to use those big ugly washers. i wish i didn't have to because the end of the jacks are right up against the board. i hope they don't interfere with anything..

[angelodp]

be sure that the 220k leads do not hit the chassis. You may have to use a washer in between the board and the standoffs if the RCA's are touching.

Getting there.

[amplifiednation]

they are definately not touchin the chassis. they are touching the bottom of the board, but no turrets or anything. i hope it checks out.

starting wiring in the board nice and slowly. the mounting screw by the cap stack i drilled too close to the turret (or vice versa) so i'm gonna have to change something there, maybe i can get a nylon screw or something that doesn't conduct.

sooo much done, soo much more to do.

[angelodp]

getting there..... cool

Get that bulb limiter out.

Mark you are the man. Thank you for clearing that up

[M Fowler]

We can all thank Normster for his great layout and designing a fantastic amp for us to build.

I think I'm almost done! I have to get the wire for the input and there is a 10K resistor coming off the bass pot that I must not have ordered? I'd like to add a bleeder resistor in somewhere too.

[angelodp]

Looking good.

Woo-Hoo! Single conductor coax for the input? Got any?

I dont think I do? Should I?

[martin manning]

Looks like the layout is showing a typical arrangement: coax with the shield tied to the input jack ground, and the grid stopper spliced on the other end. If you need a piece I can put some in the mail.
