Default 1st DIY project in a loooooong time

I haven't done a DIY project since the 1960's when I built a ST-70, PAS3 and FM3. For my reintroduction to DIY I've decided to start with a driver board from Triode Electronics for my stock MK IV's. I purchased one of TE's boards with parts. The project seems simple enough and I've been studying all my resistor charts but I would feel better if I had a photo or two. Has anybody done this particular upgrade? Do you have a decent hi rez photos of the finished board? If so, could you post or email them to me?

Thanx.

Have you tried asking Matt at Triode if he has any photos? He is usually a pretty helpful guy...

Default I did it anyway

A link to the boards? I'm not sure I understand. In any event, I overcame my trepidation, thanks in part to rediscovering how to use my VOM, and stuffed the board. One piece arrived broken. When I get that replaced, on to the testing.

Cheers to all.

I've looked at those. The blank board is depicted but not the stuffed one. In any event, I dug up my nerve, stuffed the board, and I guess we will see if I did it right.
