Just read the post from the poster looking for a board drilling template and it got me to thinking about what I do...I guess I don't care to be as neat as some do. I lay out my board on a piece of paper (I do use a ruler to set the spacing) tape the paper to a blank board and drill using a drill press. Guess I have built a dozen or so amps this way.. I pay a lot of attention to how I route wires. Do the best I can soldering. pay no attention to color of wire used. I just use what I have handy. I strive to build an amp that is very quiet and sounds like the amp I am cloning. But, then, I am not trying to make a living building amps. Most are built for someone that asks me if I will build one for them. If they want an amp that I want to build then I will. I charge them what I have in the amp. I don't buy any pre finished components, ie. chassis, front/back plates or boards. It is a hobby to me and I do love it. p.s., may be the reason that I don't like to post gut shots of my builds.

That's basically what I do also, except I use the computer to make the drawings.

so you tape the computer to the board n drill? :laugh:

I use pressure sensitive removable adhesive label stock so I can print out the layout and stick it on if it is a complex build. Then I just use a spring loaded center punch and drill baby drill.
I actually like making them, but Doug will drill a custom one with his CNC for a good price. Just click the dots.
Sometime I just eyeball and align the eyelets or turrets with the tube sockets. Sometimes I use none at all.

I might build a rats nest testing my concept, but when it's ready, I just click the dots n look professional :laugh:

Good plan. Many computer cases have a hole-array in the side panel. Take your Win98 PC, snip out the holy part, align that on your board-stuff, perfect alignment.

Take your Win98 PC
I keep my Win98 for surfing the web, it's isolated, insulated and so out dated it's almost virus proof :icon_biggrin:
If I do find something worth saving, i'll man'uel the url and use my Win 7 starter :laugh:

I thought I was paranoid. *twitch*

John, You are not paranoid, just suffering from a belief that people are out to get you. :icon_biggrin:

:laugh:
paranoia doesn't bother me, hacks do, cards have been hacked 3 times n it's a PITA.
I been hearing enough about the dark web lately to try surfing it, so I do want a penicillin Penny puter for the task :icon_biggrin:

I wouldn't say I am a hack, but I can certainly access the largest part of the internet. Whaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!, the Dark Web.
I like the idea of using an old computer case. Seems ready and something I cannot seem to get rid of. I hate to admit it, but I still have a Win 95 machine and a Mac Quadra for those who remember. For those who do not, I purchased the Mac and a 8 mg Ram (not 8 gigs) and the uncharge was 1086.00 dollars.
I am cutting them all down to sheet metal today, except the Mac Quadra because it is PLASTIC with a metal frame.
Only partially :hijack1:

Hah, yeah I remember upgrading my hand-me-down laptop to 32 MB RAM. All my buddies were like whooaahhhhhh. lol I'm strutting around like "yeah buddy, that thing cooks!" Win 3.1 never went so fast.

Whaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!, the Dark Web.
I still have to do my homework, but you can't get there from here :icon_biggrin:
my guess is it's ftp type access, I still have Kermit. What caught my attention, you can hire folks to kill ppl, launder money, buy drugs, yadeda, all anonymous, and NO, I have NO interest in "making deals" for ANY services, I just get bored, and I'm poorish, sooo, cheap fun :l2:. I have a virgin win 98 with a hacked MAC address, plenty of free WIFI, I probably won't get far, but :dontknow:

Download the tor browser. Simply use it. You can gain access with it. Consider a VPN if you plan to hire a gunslinger. :laugh:

I haven't checked for 6mths, but I did still have a backdoor, dialup number to my old companies server :icon_biggrin:

thx, it's 26degrees here :cussing:
hire a gunslinger
It's funny, my old life I made contact with engineers, the last glass blower for GE x-ray tubes.....
my new life selling beer bait n gas in my rural community provides me with contacts for all the trades, including the bad ones. I had a great conversation on breaking into cars, tips n tricks, makes n models :icon_biggrin: The last car I opened took 15seconds, took 20minutes for the dad that locked his kid n keys in the car to calm down enough to drive!!!
