Been a while....

Post by fishy »

So.....
Been a long time since I put something together and I had always wanted to build a SLO. Finally put one together and fired it up and it appears to work after some chopstickin' to find a couple of connection issues. Still need to move some air with it yet though.

The pcb makes for a clean build for sure but mods could be a real PITA...
Have a turret board should I decide to build another but I'll have to futz around with this one for a while to decide........

The Slo forum is a wealth of info and those guys also know there stuff..

That's a great looking build! Very impressive power supply. Is it similar to the Dumble precision power supply?

They are similar, the board services all but the last two nodes which are ran parallel from the previous node off the PS board. Lots of filtering up to that point.
The board supports elevated and DC heaters too.

Thanks....

Iron is Onetics - word is they are the bomb but not exactly necessary.
