The chassis takes a standard Schurter IEC

The rails are a bit to close to use a machine screw and nut, but using a sheet metal screw works great!

The Landfall chassis requires placing leads on the pot, in order to get the pot on the centerline of the chassis. (It looks better that way... :) ) Easy.

Shiny chrome knob. With camera. :)

Unfortunately, this knob was just a bit tight for that shaft, and though it went on with some, but not insurmountable, resistance, I just can't seem to get it off...
Oh well. It's not a bad knob.

Wiring the jack.

Wiring the pot to the PCB.

More assembly of the Landfall Systems Chassis. These things are sturdy when assembled!

meldano - We are looking into PCB production right now. I could have some in a week, but they would be quite expensive...

AndrewT - Again, I ask, what on earth are you talking about? The photos are hosted at diyAudio...the photos are not going anywhere. And if you are using that argument as a sideways complaint about long page load times, I've been dong it like this for years now, so I would suggest you avoid my threads, to save time.

At my end, I get told the pics are coming from origin.xxxxx
That reads like a remote server.
We have hundreds of lost pics from remote servers that no longer serve.

If origin.xxxxx is a mistake and the pics are actually hosted by DIYaudio for posterity, then my comment was not needed.
Sorry if you had already attached.

A few more assembly pics -

The heatsink channel needs thermal compound to transfer the heat from the transistors to the chassis.

A thin coat on the entirety of the channel is a good idea. I use a brush to smooth it out.

The channel is threaded and tapped, the screws attach from the outside. Simple and effective.
