Title: question for Sluckey
Post by: labb on August 11, 2023, 07:37:05 pm

Once upon a time, way back before I lost my memory, you posted the way that you wire up the pots out side of the chassis and then roll them in..Can you post that again.

Look at this pic. Notice the pot lugs are facing up toward the top of the chassis (tube sockets). It's easy to wire the pots on the outside of the chassis. The 14 AWG buss holds everything together as a single unit. When done, remove the pot assembly, flip the chassis over and reinstall the pot assembly. This time the pot lugs will be facing up toward the open side of the chassis. I don't do this on all my builds, but sometimes it's easier, especially if there is a lip on the open end of the chassis, such as my Revibe (http://sluckeyamps.com/revibe/revibe.htm).

Thanks Steve. The lip on the chassis is what is giving me the heart burn.
