Re: 100 watt ODS build
Pics in no particular order. classictone trannies, ce chassis, ceriatone parts kit. Thanks to Taylor at Amplified Nation for the rad box to put it in. Upgraded a few of the main filter caps to F+T's. I always put hot glue and weather stripping on my caps for whatever reason and use my trusty label maker. Sounds bad to the bone. I love seeing everyone's builds on here so I thought I would share, enjoy.

Re: 100 watt ODS build
Nice Dave, I see you have your light bulb limiter in the background, that saved me on my recent build with a duff diode in my FWBR.
OD trimmer pot on the back, I've never done this but it seems such a good idea I wonder why HAD never did, or perhaps he did and I haven't seen an example.
first thing I noticed though was your use of a time machine.....you've made it in the future.....5-10-17 to us Europeans is the 5th of October 2017....5 months in the future

Nice job Dave.
So much wiring work involved with building these amps I can't imagine how Jelle and other sellers do it in quantities.

Re: 100 watt ODS build
It took me two days to wire, if a person built them all the time I could see doing it in a day. It isn't my lively-hood though so I could just get a coffee and sit there patiently building all the time, I enjoy it so much. One thing I didn't mention and it isn't shown in the pics, the ce chassis mounting holes did not line up with the holes in the box. I had to replace the standoffs on the fet, bias, and relay boards with taller ones and bolt some 3/4x 3/4 angle to the short sides of the chassis and tap it out for the mounting bolts. I did that yesterday afternoon. I love that blue suede box just as much as the sound of the amp. It definitely pays to have an abundance of parts stocked. I have most of the stuff here to build another one, was thinking 50 watt 6AC7 HRM but we'll see.

Its the parts kit from ceriatones 100 watt ots which I think is closely based on 102. I am not entirely sure though.

Re: 100 watt ODS build
No but when I open it up again I will take some. All I did was took some 3/4x3/4 steel angle and bolted it to the sides and tapped the 4 holes out that come down through the top with a 10-32 tap. I just had to shorten a few bolts so they didnt hit any components. In retrospect I would have mounted the last 20uf cap in the power supply underneath the terminal strip but it worked out.
