Baaad day starts well enough.
Getting ready to install Q12/Q13 on the LH amp board.
During installation of Q12/Q13 on the LH board, I noticed two lifted pads on Q12 I somehow managed to overlook while removing the old transistors. This was the amp board that originally had all of the kludged parts and boogered up wire-wrap pins. My problem board.
The pads are still securely attached to the runs. I was able to press them out and pin them flat against the board while the transistor leads were soldered to the pads.
I hope that this is an acceptable "fix"?
Also got the PCB terminal blocks installed on both boards. C9 was temporarily removed until I can find a small form-factor cap to replace this one.
My bad day ended and finished on a high note with Fridays mail.
Silicone impregnated Fiber Glass sleeving arrives from China. Exactly what I was hoping it would be. I had a really hard time finding a source for this stuff.
I ordered five sizes: 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 4mm and 5mm in white.
Now the fun begins.
Until next time...
