I put together a couple short videos of me assembling circuit boards.  Thought I'd share!

Weber kits?  Never mind.  I see the Mojotone name brand
Guides on your quest for tone.
 Oh yeah, and I'm usually just kidding so don't take me too seriously.

You go Grasshoppa! I remember when it would take you all day just to do a Vibro Champ board. Look at you now! :wink:
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

I just can't make myself use fish paper for a circuit card after having so many Fender amps in here for service with conductive circuit cards over the years.  It's G10/FR4 for me or better.

 :laugh: I knew I would never be off the hook for using conductive rubber mat as an insulator in that darn vibro champ project!

Where I live, humidity isn't a problem.  I use both styles of boards.
