K8011/K8010 PCB build thread

[jamesfeline]

Just mounted the PCB to the top chassis .. this slides into the case as a complete sub assembly.

 

[jamesfeline]

the only disadvantage with my layout is that for any repairs you need to remove the front panel and rear panel then disconnect the various connectors
then you slide the chassis plate out.
This is why I made a test bench first .. so not a problem for me

The valve biasing is easy just remove the front panel and the bias potentiometers are accessible. but remember this is the 1st attempt at this layout ..

CNC or hand made ?

 

[jamesfeline]

Hand made with hole punches and hole saws 👍 and cone cutters

 

[jamesfeline]

but the aluminium blank I buy on eBay pre-cut to the dimensions that I need

I use a bare PCB as a template

 

[jamesfeline]

will trial fit the chassis plate today .. as waiting for some fasteners (nuts & bolts) to be delivered

 

[huggygood]

Fabriqué à la main avec des perforatrices, des scies cloches 👍 et des coupe-cônes

Bravo,my resspect.

 

[jamesfeline]

Hello

Just completed the bottom enclosure panel .. have mounted the 4 case feet (nice & chunky)

 

[huggygood]

Not a fan of massive big feet, but tastes and colors... 🙂

 

[jamesfeline]

Ok dummy trial

I hope this is all worth it? as have nearly cancelled this particular version a few times ... but have got this far
so will tidy the rear up tonight

Hello

I have mounted the bottom panel last night with the enclosure feet attached .. so far so good
Just wish modushop would make a longer depth of this enclosure 450mm would be nice as the PCB depth is 350mm or a nice DIY valve enclosure with matching valve cage would be nice .. hint hint

 

[jamesfeline]

Ok Forum members ... I have started to connect the PCB chassis to the remote back plate terminals
still work in progress

 

[jamesfeline]

Hello .. Small update
Just had the front panel delivered from the Lazer engravers .. few pics

 

[jamesfeline]

So this is the EL34 version (90w rms and the 1st 15w in class A)

Next I need to add the main power on/off switch and the stand-by pre heat switch ... plus drill the cats eyes out for thr power LEDs
slowly slowy catchy monkey .. hope it all works 🙄

 

[jamesfeline]

Also to note these are mono blocks
