Lacing and solder turret lugs

[EL34]

Many people have asked over the years how I lace up my lugs

I made a couple quick videos on how I lace them and solder them without getting a bunch of solder flux spray

Soldering the laced lugs

Curiosity:  Is there a reason for lacing, rather than running a single strand?  What gauge wire do you recommend?

It looks way nicer to me
I use 24 gauge most of the time for all the small lug gaps
20 gauge on the power supply rails

Your lace actually looks sexy!

Don't mind Sluckey, it's the middle of Mardi Grass where he lives.

24 gauge buss wire x 2 = good enough


And I have to agree, it does look sexy

I guess your celebrating Mardi Grass too.
