Crack Build - #4

[Jameson]

Really nice work, Aaron. Thanks for sending pictures along. I've added them to the gallery along with a write-up I synthesized from some of your posts.

A note on how I did the HLMP-6000 diodes.

I used 3L to headphone jack ground wire.  An "old" trick was to cut insulation and rather than pull it off just separate it wherever wire was needed.  In this manner I was able to connect the diodes to ground and their respective terminals without use of the normal 12AU7 socket center terminal.

Good work, as usual, Aaron.
Jameson, I had planned on asking to see photos of your work, noting you have built a number of kits in a short period of time. Just followed the link- nice builds and photos.

Thanks! Always happy to add builds from others here - send them over!

All good builds need a name.  Thanks to a friends abbreviate reference this one is dubbed C-4.

I did find the bass a bit lose so I've installed the speedball.  This is the first time I've installed the new speedball and it really is a breeze!

And the really hard part is also done - badge attached.

Other than my own mistake with the transformer wiring this went very well. 

Thanks BottleHead team!

I've been kicking around the idea of having my badges professionally installed. Very high-stakes stuff. Can't leave it to amateurs.

To install the badge use a GPS, sextant and a protractor.  :  If you don't use all three it gets "wonky".

The badge on my Smash is only slightly askew and it makes me crazy.
