So i was stalled on a project waiting for tubes.
I decided to clean up the bench and put eyes on another project which i long ago ordered parts for. A Mcintosh c8, and c8s preamp set to which im giving a full overhaul. Ive made 2x orders already trying to get the correct caps in the correct form factor with adequate lead length and appropriate size, and im eager to get started on the project so i spent an hour cleaning up and carefully putting away the scott 99b on by bench only yo find out that im still missing a 750pf cap for the tone shaping switches.
I spent the better part of an hour switching gears only to find that i can't actually go anywhere on this project without ordering 4c worth of parts. Last time $8 was the cheap shipping and I doubt ill get out that cheap on the next order.
It had to be done, i needed to figure this out but i was hoping to do some soldering and it looks like ill have to do something else...
