Thanks for the help. Except for a couple of caps that have been sitting in Memphis at tube depot for a couple of days I'm done with this part.

What about diode 3, diode 4, thermistor 1, and the ccs's?

Here's the one I used.

I think the one you picked is similar.

Yes, I've built one with an additional switch in the front. It works great.

Thanks for the reply, the only difference I see are:
Yours: Mine
Current - IEC 10A Current - IEC 6A
Filter Type Unfiltered - Commercial Filtered (EMI, RFI) - Commercial
Fuse Holder, Drawer Fuse Holder, Twin Fused Fuse Holder, Drawer Fuse Holder
Current - UL 10A Current - UL 6A

Is there anything in there to worry about?

Also I am looking for an on/off switch with a long knob kind of like this, any suggestions?

On/Off Switches

As another option I went with a push button switch on the front.

It's worked now for nine months with no problems.

Those switches used to be known as lever or leaf switches. I seriously doubt you can get one from the usual new parts vendors.

Surplus parts houses like Fair Radio or Surplus Sales of Nebraska might have some; they often show up at hamfests.

Got these in today. Just waiting on the heavy iron from Edcor to get finished.

 

[pitchinwedge]

Nice... where u buy them from?

Btw, how long ago did you order the Edcors? I think I may have ordered the same ones.

 

[DaMuffinMan]

Here is a link to the meters, $42.85 shipped for both of them.
265-097 – Fair Radio Sales
I ordered the Edcors on Thursday, January 11, 2018
my last email to Edcor said they should have shipped yesterday. I sent Phyllis an email today to get a tracking # but havent heard back. I need to hurry up and finish my base for the parts.

 

[pitchinwedge]

Oh nice... fully two months for the trafos. Guess I’ve plenty of time, hehe.

So the meters won’t be bouncing around like typical SS power meters?

 

[DaMuffinMan]

Had some time to work in the garage today. Should get the transformers this week.

 

[DaMuffinMan]

Got some more work done tonight.

 

[DaMuffinMan]

These came today. Time for some sanding and painting.

 

[DaMuffinMan]
