Getting last bits for my 45/100
Dear forum members,
i've posted a full NOS and modern parts list for my 45/100 here:
http://forum.metroamp.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=31263" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
- i want to go sure i haven't forgot anything,m especially nothing of the small stuff, where i have no idea how much what is needed - allwires, bolts, nuts, screws, etc. I'd appreciate any corrections to the current parts list very much.
In addition, i couldn't find any of the following bits (which are mentioned in the 100w kit instructions):
5 1/2” Grommets
1 3/8” Grommet
8” 1/8” Shrink tubing
12 3” Cable Ties
Doesn't metro list these seperately? The barebone 45/100 alu chassis kit says nothing about included grommets, cable ties and shrink tubing :/
Thanks a lot in advance!
Kind regards,
VintageCharlie

Re: Getting last bits for my 45/100
You don't really need shrink tubing for anything in the 45/100, unless you want to use it on the grid stoppers, and decide to use individual grid stoppers. But seeing as you are doing a vintage spec amp, you're going with a single 1k5 between each pair of power tube sockets, right?
RIGHT????!!!
Just kidding there...but there's no need for shrink tubing. I'm 99% sure I got grommets with my 66 chassis kit. Cable ties you should be able to find at any hardware store.

Re: Getting last bits for my 45/100
You get the board stand offs, grommets, cage nuts and chassis to head cab screws in a Metro BB kit. Normally get boards too but I think you are going vintage style
I use the asbestos tubing not heat shrink in the 1k5s - that is what the originals used. No cable tyes - just vintage lacing (see tutorial thread on the forum somewhere
)

Re: Getting last bits for my 45/100
thanks for the replies, Shatki, Neikeel! Vintage lacing, eh, sounds like an adventure
I'll look into it. Ok, so i can forget the cable ties, the shrink tubing and the grommets. I'll ask Metro about the grommets, just to be sure.
Yes, Shakti, no worries - it will have a pair of 1.5k's
My only obvious crime will be castelco switches on a 66 45/100 type amp

Did you guys get a chance to take a look at my parts list, especially cables (and their lengths) screws and all the hardware tid bits - i'm paranoid about getting wrong ones or forgetting something, as i don't really have an idea how much of what is needed?
Thanks!

yes, but in my precious country one could kill himself when trying to find the simplest things - we're a special little county. I don't want to make a rope because of a few grommets in the right sizes

What would slightly explain, why we are such a dump right now, is this Bloomberg interview with our former minister of finances - an individual who obviously doesn't even understand where he is and what he "should" represent and/or do (it's worth your time - it's really funny, especially if he is not the minister of finances of your country

I just watched it again myself - i think he is brain-dead - he's actually an Avatar, but there seems to be a problem in the connection
