I ordered the 5F2 chassis which is basically a Fender Princeton chassis, a Weber Power Transformer (W022772), and a couple of caps/resisters - Zoso cap which is a correction to the book. The cap on the tone control is supposed to be .0047uF which is what I ordered.
The chassis appears to be top quality. I thought I was going to have to go out and buy a deburring tool, but all of the edges feel as if they have already been deburred. However, the chassis kit did not come with mounting hardware (screws/bolts etc...) so I will problaby carry the parts over to my local ACE hardware store and see what I can find.
I also have to place one more order for the output transformer (OT), a switch (out of stock for first order), another 1Meg Ohm pot, and one more tube socket (I forgot to update the quantity before I ordered). I'll order these from Antique Electronic Supply.
Here are some pics of the parts that arrived today.
The towel on the table is classic. I do the same thing whenever I'm using the kitchen table (or coffee table) as a workbench. :-)
ReplyDeleteI am putting my parts together for this project, too. Thanks for sharing.
Hey man that's a classic towel too left over from the 80s - Ha. The table is a tv tray so it's a little small and there is a black "table" that can be seen in some other shots - that's actually an old antique trunk that belonged to my grandma. My space is limited.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to hear how your project is going. Keep in touch.
