Quick turret board question
« on: January 13, 2018, 02:41:49 pm »
After running wires through the passthrough holes on the board do any of you guys fill the holes with glue to preclude or otherwise minimize any movement of the wires? To serve as sort of like a grommet? Or is there no danger of the wires vibrating and wearing? If so what type?... super glue? Silicone? Thankee...dave

I don't put anything in the pass-thru holes except the wire.
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

Ok. I never had before either. Something I wasn't sure would be a good idea or not. Thanks!

How cheesy is that wire insulation? And if it does wear-through and shorts to the board- so what?
