I finished running the wiring to the output tubes, quad cap and rectifier tube. As well as connections that will eventually connect to the driver board.

Now that the driver board is in you can also see wires on the driver board ready to be connected to the main section of the amp.

It was only about an hour and a half to do ALL the remaining wiring, installing a few resistors, driver board wire connections and mounting the driver board itself.

Again every thing was very clearly explained and not once did I have a "aa-whaa does this mean" moment.

The hardest part now is soldering in a few tight spots and trying to get lock nuts on it some pretttyyyyyy thigh spaces. Otherwise I have had no problems yet.

After just a few more connections and mounting the front hardware it's test fire time. Or should I rephrase that??????

 You WILL install hole bushings where the wires go through I assume?.
Were those supplied?. Great job though!.

 Those are wires just waiting to be hooked up. The take off sockets go there. All the front end stuff was installed today. It did take the skill of a neurosurgeon to get those damn screws in there!

 I was working on it a little today. I only have four wires to hook up and I'm done.

However I think I will spend one day just checking and rereading the instructions.
