Thanks for the encouragement John.
So, much like my crazy overspend on a valveless cabinet and a load of mouse
inside then...
Sometimes external events influence the order in which a project progresses and indeed this is what is now happening here, in a good way though
A week's visit to my parents place provided the opportunity to use the vice mounted folding tool to make up the supporting bracket for the EHT rectifier.
First folded to shape, drilled and then a q-max cutter was used to make the hole for the valve socket. Finally the top radius was added and then a check to see what it looks like in the set. Yes folks the EHT capacitor does sit off the edge of the chassis (the original cap was even bigger!) and yes the entire bracket is at EHT potential
Now back home, but with my wife and daughter at my parents for another week I can do some noisy bits (my daughter's room is above my work room), so work on the cabinet back has now started.
Cheers
Andy
