She's a beaut. I'm getting all the parts for my Rocket build going. What trannies did you use?

[gahult]

Thanks,

The transformers are:

Heyboer

PT HTS-9144
OT HTS 8093-1
CH Hammond 158L

The output is a modded Dynaco a470.

I got them from rj as he made a bulk order. I don't know if he has any left but, you can check with Allyn as I think he had some in the For Sale section.

Nice job on your build. I also have my Rocket build stuff coming and hope to get started on that soon. That looks like a joebob board in there?

I also answered your PM too.

Thanks Mark,

I made my own boards for this and my son's Express "Cindy".

I made another Express, Liverpool, and Rocket board that are populated ready for some more builds as money and head cabs develop.

The other Rocket board is a .......prototype???...... messed it up on a couple of turret locations (B4/R6 crossed up) but, it will function, just not in this build.

Did you use 18 solid wires for this build? I used 20 solid on my Liverpool but was thinking of using thicker wire for my next build. I remember your Cindy build now it was in black I think. I could just look back and find it.

Edit: Found the other amp you built for your son she is a beauty.

Mark,

Thanks again.

I used 18 gauge for the heaters and 20 gauge for the rest per BOM.

I used white instead of green on some of it as I didn't know we were going green. I had not ordered that color as it wasn't on the BOM.

Beautiful build
Though the cleanliness of your work bench makes me worry about you a little

[gahult]

Thanks.

It certainly doesn't look like that while I'm building.

The wife changed the throw rugs in the kitchen and I grabbed several before the trash man. When I get done I pick up the old one with all the tools, cuttings, crap and put down a clean one for pictures. Heck I even sweep the floor. You should see the mess out of frame.

My garage is worse. I need to clean that before I can get at doing a head cab.

Gary,
Nice looking build.

Hope she puts a smile on your face......

Tim, you beat me to that comment

Any self respecting solder jockey's bench is at least got some wire cuttings and solder spatter on it!!

[gahult]

Thanks everyone.

Still need to get her labeled and get at a head cab. But, it's going to be a long winter and it will beat shoveling snow.

Tim/Ron

Man we sure think alike because I was going to comment on how clean Gary's work bench is compared to mine but Tim beat me to it. Mine is still a mess and I picked it up and reorganized several times, what the heck.

At least I think I know where everything is! Heehe .

Gary did you come up with a plan for your cab?
