Almost as much fun as building a new Heathkit! Now...gonna get that pretty Cheyenne/Comanche on the road & FINALLY get back in the window! That'll hold me til I get the PS for the G-76 sorted out.
PS and one cable are done and checked out. Initial firing-up of the Cheyenne says it's "semi-alive." Lights up, there B+, the final draws current, but there's no grid drive. Ah, well, tha'll be fun to track down another day.
For now, the PS seems to be very happy and is good under load.
AND -- no magic smoke has escaped!
Nice job but you missed two.Quote:

Nice job :) I do know I am looking forward to find my first boat anchor in need of TLC :)
Careful, Cory, it's addictive as hell and there's no cure. But it IS a great pastime!
