What did you do with the abandoned Erwin chassis please? If it is to be for sale I may be interested (also in EU).

Yup. Personally I prefer the "baffle" closer to the front, but I think it's just to taste. Keep an eye on clearing the distance to the metal corners if you do bring it forward. Here are photos of one of mine - the metal is 20mm wide, baffle 18mm + grill cloth, and I ran the metal strip flush with th...

Thanks Matt, Glenn! I'm about to start a 2nd Gen ODS build with one of Erwin's chassis myself. Nice! I'd like to see that build too. I see Erwin only has one of those chassis left . Mmmm... One thing to check before you get too far along is clearance between the corner of the Reverb board and the XL...

Finally got round to starting a build using the bag of bits I bought from a member here. I feel extremely lucky to have another of these chassis which aren't available now. SSS #2 is of course documented thoroughly but maybe others, like me, enjoy watching build threads :) Day 1: hardware and pre. h...

Hi James

I’m not sure I completely understand the question, but I’ve built all mine with the front of the chassis 3/4” (20mm) back from the grill cloth, and the chassis about 1/4” (3-5mm) set back from the cutout. The grill cloth I set at around 5-8mm back from the cabinet front.

I'm looking for anchor nuts to use in my build and as I used the same dimensions as your #004 chassis I just now realize that I can't seem to find any anchor nuts that fit (looking to order from Aircraft Spruce in Germany)? Fusion says the holes are .578 in apart. I originally used these in my Ryan...

What did you do with your mid switch please? I’ve tried various things people have suggested but never been satisfied.

Beautiful build.

Will you do more Erwin?

They really are fabulous chassis.

I've PM'ed but will reply here too in case there is someone else who really wants one.

I have 2 in Denmark, Europe.

I don't have immediate plans for them, so would sell one (maybe both) for the actual cost price - i.e. including the import duty I paid - if it helps someone.

Saw this advertised in my local shop in Copenhagen and thought of you folks.

I find the contour in my wonderland very useful and would recommend keeping it.

Excellent you’ve saved me asking my follow up question too.

Unless someone chimes in with a different PTFE wire recommendation altogether I’ll go with that, and those strippers.

Thank you very much

Hi folks Having used solid core pushback all my life, I'm about to invest in some reels of PTFE stranded hookup wire and have a newbie question. From what I gather, 22AWG is what we want for the signal wiring and in the EU the Alpha 5855 (600v Silver plate copper) looks like a reasonable option on 1...

You’re adjusting the bias until you read around 47mV across your 1ohm resistors? Sounds correct. The b+ will change a bit as you adjust bias. It’s an iterative process. What the bias voltage from the potentiometer is (-48V or whatever) isn’t so important. Tubes vary, plus your 1ohm resistors will al...
