I can't find the wire from the volume pot wiper to the next gain stage. Hard to see...

EDIT: I see it now...

Is the circuit ground connected to the volume/tone pots?

Why not get a few turrests? Or, at least... Get some #4 brass bolts and nuts, maybe 3/8" long to use as turrets. Put the bolts up through from the bottom, nut from the top and use the threaded part that comes through to wrap leads around. The brass will solder nicely. Or a few brass eyelets from a f...

Yep...

What circuit exactly is used to create the 25V DC?

Is your filament winding ground-referenced by a low-resistance pot? What is the resistance of your hum-balance pot? The only way I can see this being an issue is if the filament winding is weakly ground referenced such that the OT primary lines can yank the whole winding up and down. In other words,...

You could try asking heyboer. They're pretty open about stuff. Just ask them core size, wire size and number of turns. They might not want to tell you the interleave, but you can ask. The worst that can happen is they don't respond...

Michael Gaines. You'll need to give him the exact dimensions needed and ask him to hunt down the wood.

Very likely tie the white-stripe to the black then use the black-stripe and white as the 24VAC inputs. That would be the only logical choice given this color scheme.

Works fine...

Why not use the standard iron from toneslut. I have some extras, too.

So... Why is there 2 ohms between the PI ground point and other ground points? Something is fishy (still needing fixed).

I'm not a fan of this grounding scheme. Washers and nuts can loosen over time, get dirty then you have a bad ground. I once sent an amp across the USA, New Jersey to Califirnia. When it got there is had a nasty buzz. I had to have the customer return it at my expense. When it got here the footswitc...

8x17x3 will work great. I use 18ga stranded teflon wire but use what ever you like. It's your amp. Teflon won't melt or burn so is far easier to use. IMHO. This is a very gigable amp but is loud. Use whatever attenuation you think you need.... I would build the amp first and then figure that out. I ...
