MGTOW is alive and well.

What’s MGTOW?

It's funny to read the Wikipedia article here: Men Going Their Own Way - Wikipedia because the couple of guys I know who I'd put in this camp seemed to end up there on accident more than any other reason.

Hey Dave, @golana is right. The aluminum channel came from Thomas in a kit of parts that I got from him.

Finally found a couple of similar extrursions.

The same site has some nice looking clamps that might work well as capacitor clamps.

Very cool site. But the adolescent in me can’t help but chuckle at the name. Reminiscent of...

I have some servo city bits, nicely made stuff. Those might work quite well.

Better than Scapula City, I suppose...

I like scapulas so much, I bought the whole company.

Careful fellas, you have no idea how big a fan I am of UHF! This could really go off the rails!

It is one of the greatest movies ever made.

Remind me not to build anything with an Amphenol umbilical again. These things are an exercise in not fun.

I did finish the thing but I forgot to take a photo.

I always try to talk people out of it, but sometimes you just have to do it once to get it out of your system!

What seems to be difficult? It LOOKS straightforward.

If they're anything like the Chinese ones I use, they can be pretty fiddly.

The finished umbilical...

...and some more progress in the main box.

Nice and clean layout there Nate. You’re going to have a hard time letting that one go.

What's that shaft extension in the lower right hand corner, above the big Bosch MKP cap?

Very nice layout, clean and efficient.

Thanks Anthony. My first wish for this amp is just for it to work, right out the gate... I don't doubt that it will sound good, once it's sorted, because it's a great circuit. And at that point, I'll probably be wishing I could keep it. However, I've been at this thing much longer than I wanted to be so it'll be great to pack it up and send it on its way!

Thank you! The extension is for an Elma selector switch which will sit toward the back of the amp near the inputs. That's one of the next things I'll wire up.

Where did you get the extension? I'm looking for some good ones.
