RE: Confess your DIY amplifier sins here.....

I followed Jeffs questionable advice of reterminating all of the leadouts on a nice big beefy Heyboer transformer.

Later the secondary shorted against the chassis as the holes were too small for all of the wire and I didn't use grommits.

I then proceeded to give Jeff hell for some time before I figured out a 2 amp fuse was more appropriately sized than a 1 amp. (this after fixing the leadouts).

Power transformer and amp have been fine ever sense. I'd still never cut up leadouts on nice transformers again. :)
