Hi. I completed my Pearl2 months ago but never took the time to post the complete set of pictures. It may inspire some of you guys 😎

First the PCB, I did my own.

And the case finish. To cover the sides used small slide of wedge wood, with oil finish. The rest of the case, front, back and top were done by Front Panel Expert. Exquisite fit and finish.

Thanks for your comments.

RA7, I did a few years back a two parts article on how to make your own PCB.
Files are kind of big. Send me a private email and I'll send you a copy.

I used to solder plate my pcb, now I used my ''special'' sprayed protection film to protect the copper. What is great about this stuff that is burn away when you solder the part. No need for a solder mask. For small smd parts, I install them first, then spray the stuff, finally I solder the bigger through hole parts.

6L6, I got the R-Core transformer from DIYclub, part R26-75, paid U$19.25 + shipping at the time...

Nice Sylvain, I wish I would have seen those R cores when I bought mine labled 2x24 that turned out to be 28 VAC that put me at the ragged edge of the max for the regs.(40 dc)

What regulated DC voltage did you wind up with their labeled 2x20? I,ll bet it,s off but Nicely in range🙂
I might switch to these to get rid of a small variac I,m using to keep it in range,.. its not optimal but works for now.

Regards
David
