my first buss wired +switches+relays.. any comments welcome
After a lot of diggin on the garage, I've wired the buss wire , relays, and switches. following #124 for a 100 watt build. The buss was a walk in the park compared to tryin to figure out the coax runs to the relays and i'm not 100% sure it's done right, so if you can see any errors let me know and try not to kick this noob to hard k!

Looking good so far...
Mid switch instead of Deep
What value is the PAB cap?
Also is the PAB switch a center off ?
might snap some more pics of coax runs to sockets.
Thanks for sharing and keep posting

Re: my first buss wired +switches+relays.. any comments welcome
Hey Darin, thanks for the props . 
I spent my morning wiring the pre amp board and power supply board
and luckily caught two mislabeled wires. pics will come soon
switches are on /on,and yes its a
mid boost.i'm not sure on the pab cap value...but i'm mostly following What is posted on #124 here .
I still need to get a PT .......I'm thinking the hammond 290fx.
and I need a 10k bias pot.

This thread is about a #124 build that keeps to the original schematic and layout. May answer some questions. https://tubeamparchive.com/viewtopic.php?t=4294

Re: my first buss wired +switches+relays.. any comments welcome
Thanks ic-racer....I can tell you i have read that post from start to finish many many times........It's a great read . That build is alot closer to#124 than mine will be,as I'm going for parts i can  source readily with ease. I figure if something fails that way i can replace the parts no problem.
here's a shot of my boards .

That work looks really nice the chassis too ! If you are a noob, it doesn't show.
Is that one of the Canadian CE chassis ?

Re: my first buss wired +switches+relays.. any comments welcome
Thanks chopstuck, I'm another lurker who popped up. and feel lucky to have found a group of tube amp folks who are really helpful and willing to help me .
And yes that's a ce chassis .
Here's a mock up of the cab she'll go in for now. I designed it in google sketchup8 a free program online
it's just reg. 3/4 ply stained and clear coated.
i've added a clear plexi strip instead of aluminum and tossed in some Led's
in the cab to light it up!
when I can get my hands on some better wood, I'll make another but for now
plywood it is.........

Re: my first buss wired +switches+relays.. any comments welcome
Thanks stelligan, and no not for awhile as i still need a PT and a bias pot .
I am going to make a light bulb limiter as well and then hopefully all's good and i can burn the amp in........
Today I'm going to fit and mount the chassis to the cab as well as the back plate.[/img]
