Day four was devoted to wiring the pentode/triode switch. This took 40 minutes for each side. So 80 minutes in total. Then an extra five minutes to check and make sure my wiring was correct.

Being this is still summer I am devoting my time to going in my pool. So I am in no flaming hurry to finish this project.

This was not only simple but actually fun. Squaring off the wires and trying to make it look professional. I did enjoy this part.

The instructions again were excellent. A pictorial color view of the innereds as well as an expanded view of the connections to the switch. Bob made it VERY easy.

I wonder what day five will bring?

I think Bob Latino could teach quantum mechanics to preschoolers!!!!

 Hi Airtime, Out of all the posts and any subjects, your building the Dyna is the one I look for first and utmost. Here's a question? Is the chassis stainless steel or chrome plated? Keep up the great work! I'll bet while your lazing and basking in the hot N.J. sun in your inner tube floating around in the pool thoughts of Teflon wire,new tube sockets,gold jacks,A-25's,ect., are swirling around in your noggin even with all those bikini clad beauties hangin around! Now get back to work on the amp Air T. Your building up a fan club and inspiring me to get soldering again....thanks...Mark Korda

 I think my Maggie 1.6's need a little more oomph. I'd live to build an ST 120 but I'll wait at least 'till the Canadian $ is worth a little more than 75¢ US.

 Let me tell ya, it's a bit hard to float around the pool in the sunshine knowing my kit is sitting in that dark basement workshop.

But I do sneak down there and look at the instructions. So I can dream about my next days work.

At first when I opened the box I really, I mean REALLY wasn't into this. What the heck did I get myself into. Now building this is all I can think of. I am enjoying the HECK out of this project.

Bob really went above and beyond packing/labeling/bagging parts together and laying out the instructions do idiots like myself can easily build this.
