kevin gilmore Posted November 14, 2009 Report Posted November 14, 2009 So its going to end up cheaper than i thought. So sue me. Mostly its because the power supply board is not going to be full size and that is going to make things cheaper. So the amplifier board really is what i said above unless there is some other charge i don't know about. Quote

Indulge yourself! Quote
mrarroyo Posted November 14, 2009 Report Posted November 14, 2009 Darn, this is looking awesome! It is almost making me want an stax set up. But like many no money available. Quote
jigster Posted November 24, 2009 Report Posted November 24, 2009 Woah... Just came across this thread, must have been blind all this while (though I did only just joined the Headcase community ). This project looks awesome! I'll would dearly love to get my hands on one of these monsters. Now I know where to put ALL my hard earned money.... This IS my wet dream! Quote
kevin gilmore Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 Well then, a couple of more pictures http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/t2chassis14.jpg http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/t2chassis15.jpg all thats left to do is the backpanel for the power supply, and to buy some shaft extenders (and pick a normal knob) (and pick which stax jack) glad i waited on the power supply board, as one of the mounting holes would have run into the front panel flange. amp boards should be here next week for those people just itching to start stuffing the boards. Angle brackets also available. Perfect for turkey day... I'm pretty much back on schedule. Quote
luvdunhill Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 excellent work! Also, looks like the wall wart on the far right will fit just fine! 1 Quote
Les_Garten Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 excellent work! Also, looks like the wall wart on the far right will fit just fine! RadioShack Universal Wall Wart FTW! Quote
kevin gilmore Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 excellent work! Also, looks like the wall wart on the far right will fit just fine! Thats the battery charger for the nikon. Not going in the power supply box. No room! Quote
Voltron Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 Wow, that's hot! Very exciting. Quote
Deadneddz Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 This thing is going to kick major ass! Hard work well rewarded. Theres got to be a way to make this whole amp silver. At least for Spritzers sake. He did after all hunt down this unicorn in the first place. Quote
spritzer Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Posted November 25, 2009 Moar amps in moar silver makes me moar happy... Quote

nattonrice Posted December 1, 2009 Report Posted December 1, 2009 Holy shite... here's to cnc milling! Looks to fit like a glove =) Quote
Voltron Posted December 1, 2009 Report Posted December 1, 2009 Oh damn, that is awesome! Nice boards. Quote
Kerry Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 Looking absolutely awesome. I just noticed how many holes there are in them boards. That'll take more than a few nights to stuff I expect the results to be well worth it Quote
kevin gilmore Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 shipped power supply board this morning. parts stuffing starts possibly today. No later than saturday morning. fact is i'm sure i'm missing a few parts. I can stuff parts and solder the board in 4 hours! (I'm lying my ass off. ) Quote
spritzer Posted December 3, 2009 Author Report Posted December 3, 2009 4 hours maybe with all parts precut and bent into the correct shape. Quote
nattonrice Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 Excellent timing! I just got a quote from Richard for the iron for this and a b24. The shipping is crazy cheap for the weight. Quote
spritzer Posted December 3, 2009 Author Report Posted December 3, 2009 Good to know since I have quite a few transformers to order... Quote
nattonrice Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 I was worried as the beta24 one is like the plitron that Ti used but with everything I need on it instead of a separate supplementary toroid... heavy =S Quote
