No work today

I didn't actully work on anything today, but I did order what should be the last of the electronic parts. All that is left is the cabinet and speaker. I'm going to go with a single 12" speaker which is different from what is in the book plans. The design originally called for one 10" and one 12" but the new kits that can be purchased uses just the 12"

I've dry mounted the components that I have. I will re-check before I solder (possibly thursday) and I need to plan out where connector wires will go and running connector wires under the board.

I want to have it all planned out before I solder.

One note for those who plan to build and not buy from a kit: It helps to be a detail person. Double check before ordering that you are ordering the right parts. Also, it may help to buy the chassis first. The mistake I made was ordering the tube sockets and not knowing what size hole was in the chassis plus their mounting specs. Also when ordering I didn't double check my quantities and I accidently ordered one 9 pin tube socket when I meant to buy two.
