Not anytime soon, we have a lot of boards. It should be easy enough to go to 2 wires from one. Worst case you have a solder buss bar or a single turret. Or if no ones looking twist the second wire onto the first, solder, then cover with shrink tube! If you can't figure that out you shouldn't try to build it!
But yes, it would be neater with more holes.
I call those wire clamp busses "Euroblocks" Not sure if that's official!

If you are careful and thoughtful with the layout, there will work fine. There are certain things that are given up when using modular boards. OTOH, better flexiblity is gained, and for this community, flexiblity is of higher merit.

Very good to see your post. I had to do a double-take? What, what, what?
UK toeCutter? Hooray-beer!

You know,
Sometimes things go bad and then they go real good.
I've had a few of those ups and downs over the last year but now all is good.
Really exciting stuff going on here and the store boards and chassis' look magnificent!!

Hi Mark,
Is there a plan for black finished 4U and 5U chassis available in the store soon?

rolandong,
No, sorry but we have our hands full with the silver front panels. However in the future perhaps we can pre-order them for some people, I don't think it will be soon though.

Hang in there it's on the up and up now!

Hi UKTocutter,
Check out these boards they are almost ready to get in the box,They have played and sounded great too!They will be water cooled for the Bigfets the MUR's don't seam to get very hot so they will have standard heat sinks,Gets so hot here in TEXAS got to put water on them,lol.I cut some server copper heatsinks in half and covered them with sheet copper and run 800 gph with a 10 gallon Reservoir,I have a 50 watt F5 setup like this now,haven't had to add a radiator yet,but it's coming,lol.

What did you use for th3 2SK170 and 2SJ74???
I purchased these boards, F-5 Clone, recently and cannot seem to find these transistors OR a drop in replacement? I have been all over the Net looking for these. Ones from China, NA.

Which transistors are you talking about?
It's in his header - the J74 and K170.
Buy from member " Spencer " (FET Audio | Hi-End Audio Projects) He is essentially the only reliable source of the genuine devices anymore.
Assume everything on Ebay is fake.

Waiting for Spencer
Thanks for the responses!!!!!!
For the 2SK170 and 2SJ74, 2 pair for $200. I sent him another e mail to see if that was in US$. Hope not. But yes, he seems to be the MAN.
Wonder where he procured them?
Thanks
