Black Flag ( My version )

Post by myfoot » Thu Mar 04, 2010 10:22 am

Took me about a year to source parts and decide what I wanted to do with this. Started out with a regular JTM50 board from BrianH here but decided I already had done one of those already so I got some turrets and added a couple and ended up with a 50 watt lead with a tube rectifier.

Ceriatone chassis , marstran transformers ( almost put the dual voltage switch in (bought one ) but decided there just wasn't enough room to squeeze it in. BrianH's board and tag strip I had him make for me to use for the 5 voltage taps on the Marstran transformer

Of course using that I had to move the fuse to the back panel so I have one of his fancy fuse holders for my next build :D

Kind of crowded on that side with the rectifieer wiring
Image

Had enough wire on the output primary to run around the socket and away from the secondaries . I was going to use my set of Sozo vintage on this one but I would have had to order some more 022s and had enough 018s and some .68s so I figured what the hell :)

One bug I had with using the pink wire ; I had the wiper of the treble and mid pots reversed :oops: didn't take to long to figure out something wasn't right .

Congratulations on this fine build! Did you polish the inside of the chassis? It sure looks like it from the pics... :D Your choice of components is first class too.

Thanks... . Yep still building for the son... be cheaper for me to take up guitar playing :D ( maybe )
Got the boards done for a Dickinson 45/100 . Now I need the chassis and transformers and the assorted other things. Waiting to hear from Brian (Wallace) when the OT is in stock and then I can get my Metro order in.
