I finished mine.. Sounds amazing! I am very impressed.

 

[mutterd]

Yeah - I finished mine too - use it everyday and love it...

Like I said - wish I had a pair of them.

 

[JamesW]

pair finished sound great

 

[jensenmann]

First one finished, too. Sounds great but meter tracking is a joke (again). Who cares about meters anyway.... 

Thanks a lot, Peter, for doing this rerun for us!

I posted pics back in January in the build thread http://groupdiy.com/index.php?topic=42680.400 starting on page 21... There is also information on meter calibration.

Here was my mouser cart for the project.  It was set up for building a pair, so quantities are doubled:

be advised that the transistors with metal outer shells need to sit off of the opamps a few millimeters.  I had to re-order them.  Also, be sure about the orientation of the EL panel!!!  I wasted a good 2 months thinking these things didn't work because the Transistors were touching the PCB, and the EL panel wasn't lighting up.  Turns out I had the EL panel upside down so it was flashing into that little daughterboard it gets glued to. 

Final thoughts:  I didn't add foam or anything around it to block out the light.  the inside of the chassis is super dark as it is when populated, so there's no light getting in there anyway.  These sound great.  the Trimmer that sits on an op amp is the trimmer that corresponds with the HF switch on Ruckus' SA3A, which basically turns on a De-esser in the circuit.  turning the trimmer one way or the other turns on or off the de-esser circuit.

Are The Pots included in this cart?

Are The Pots included in this cart?

No, I do not think they are included in that cart.  I used that same one as a starting point for my order.  Here is my cart which includes the pots and knobs.
