Not anytime soon, we have a lot of boards. It should be easy enough to go to 2 wires from one. Worst case you have a solder buss bar or a single turret. Or if no ones looking twist the second wire onto the first, solder, then cover with shrink tube! If you can't figure that out you shouldn't try to build it!

But yes, it would be neater with more holes.

I call those wire clamp busses "Euroblocks" Not sure if that's official!

Very good to see your post. I had to do a double-take? What, what, what?

I can relate

You know,
Sometimes things go bad and then they go real good.
I've had a few of those ups and downs over the last year but now all is good.
Really exciting stuff going on here and the store boards and chassis' look magnificent!!

You know it's said Thomas Edison had 999 failures before he got it right ONE time,lol,I would have probably gone crazy long before that,but what patience and perseverance,
Hang in there it's on the up and up now!

Hi UKTocutter,
Check out these boards they are almost ready to get in the box,They have played and sounded great too!They will be water cooled for the Bigfets the MUR's don't seam to get very hot so they will have standard heat sinks,Gets so hot here in TEXAS got to put water on them,lol.I cut some server copper heatsinks in half and covered them with sheet copper and run 800 gph with a 10 gallon Reservoir,I have a 50 watt F5 setup like this now,haven't had to add a radiator yet,but it's coming,lol.

I purchased these boards, F-5 Clone, recently and cannot seem to find these transistors OR a drop in replacement? I have been all over the Net looking for these. Ones from China, NA.
