Unfortunately the paintjob is slowly chipping away on the edges...

on my hand for the past 3 weeks. It (the cast) finally was removed today. So I was itching to go.

Here is the result:

The Takman resistors have thick copper wires. This makes for wonderfully strong little spiders.

I've also used ceramic terminals strips for the first time and it makes for a nice strong construction.

And I did the ccs for the phase splitter a while ago.

[edit] I used silver solder. But found out that it is NOT necessary with these fakes. Fake or not it make for a great construction.

"TEKTRONIX CERAMIC STRIPS, HISTORY and GENERAL INFORMATION
Tektronix first developed and used ceramic strips in their oscilloscopes in 1952. During the manufacturing process, silver in liquid form is painted in and on the notches of the strips prior to the application of the final glaze and final firing. The silver is then firmly bonded to the ceramic and wires can be soldered directly to the ceramic.

Special silver-bearing solder should be used when soldering to ceramic strips so the silver bonded to the strip does not...
