The bare power supply showing the TDK noise filter, 650VA toroid transformer with the dual bridge rectifiers mounted on their heatsink.
Note the ventilation slots in the sides of the case bottom, below the mounting holes for the heatsink sides.
The power supply complete with filter capacitors and 1.6mm brass rail busses and earth.
The finished home-made PCB. Note the high current parts of the circuit are provided additional copper.
The stuffed PCB showing the component layout, prior to installing the board onto the pre-mounted FETs. Construction was done in the order so the FETs made best contact with the heatsink flange.
A single amplifier module (right channel) showing the PCB effectively mounted by the FETs.
The front panel logo. This was photo-engraved, filled with black enamel prior to brushing the front panel and a coat of clear satin enamel. The 'c' obviously being for 'clone'.
The completed fron panel prior to incorporation in the case.
The near complete amplifier undergoing the first "bench-run". The power supply for this comes from a variac (out of picture) so the voltage could be wound-up gradually.
The rear panel of the complete amplifier, showing main IEC connector, dual 5A circuit breaker as the main switch, RCA and XLR input connectors, and the gold-plated banana speaker terminals.
