Default Re: Ekco AC77 - well on the way - not there yet!

So here's the power supply terminal-strip detail:

First pic is the PCB I etched to secure the terminals in place on the rear apron.

Second pic is of the brass terminals that I turned on the lathe, tapped 4 BA for external eye tags to be fitted, and internally, as solder points for the wiring.

Third pic shows the terminals soldered to the PCB.

Fourth pic shows the outside of the terminal strip, with the terminals passing through a paxolin strip which secures the PCB to the rear apron. The wiring loom to the receiver chassis will be fixed to those terminals, then a Paxolin safety strip fitted over them.

Fifth pic shows the internal wiring completed and a bracket made and fitted to hold the replica twin cap box in place, as it would have been originally.
