Thanks,

Got the layout
Drool....
So is the kit shipping? Of course, not that I'm building it yet.
She has to wait until the others are done, especially the sIII.
Thanks

You weren't kidding alot of parts for the TC. Looks like it's going to be a great addition to your company Not to mention, I OWN one . Curious as to how long it took you to wire the the tone contour , Going to take me a little longer
Later

The tone contour takes 30 min or so I guess, to do a clean job. OTW it gets messy fast.

The hold up on sending out the kits is the panel. Totally new design. Black reverse laser engraved with silver lettering. Worth the wait!

Stephen, is there a certain way you hold the components to the soldering pins, especially when your doing things like the tone control?

Panel sounds nice

I haven't even built my first kit yet, and i want one of these. This sounds very, very cool

Ya know, I just noticed that the pics have an additional tube in the build for the TC-15, in comparison to the layout. How many tubes are used in the kit?

Aren't the pics and the layout the same?

(1) EF-86
(3) 12-AX7
(2) EL-84
(1) Rectifier Tube

...or am I missing something!

Just got back to my question (Wiring, wiring, wiring...). Looking at the schemo, I see the 7 tubes. So know I'm wondering what you did with the 8th tube. More fun? .
Also if I wanted to try a choke, you have 6H 150mA. I'm guessing a 6H 200mA would be okay. Found a Triad at Allied for $15.16. Seems reasonable. Allied's owned by Radiosphere's, so I can't imagine the Triad brand is that bad.
What do you think?
Thanks,
Jac

Count the sockets. There are 8 sockets in those pics.

Stephen has an extra tube socket hole in his chassis for whatever.
He used it, just curious as to, what for? Ya know.

Ah! I was only looking at the "front view" of the prototype. There must be one tube hidden from view by the big cannister cap. When I look at the underbelley, I see it......

Keith

Yup, Just have to find out what for Gotta Know , might be more playtime

Coco,

I don't need a turretboard design for the TC-15, but could you give me the outside dimensions, so I can cut it to size. I understand building them now, lot's of fun for me. I really enjoy building them.
Anyway, the OD will just make sure it's accurate for your chassis.

I EVEN got some nice fiberboard (very dark) and eyelets. I'll cut 2 , so it has a backing like the original. Although, I'm seriously debating hotgluing them together.

I've seen how they warp over time, and I think the hotglue could with stand the test of time. Keep the board more rigid.

Comments, anyone? Or other idea's.
Thanks, Jac

Been away, still on the road.

Extra socket is for reverb on the prototype only.
I would stick to 1/8" GP03 or G10 material if you can. Just my opinion. Seen some pretty old fibre boards material out there and they looked like a sinusoidal wave!! Whereas my 30 year old JCM800 is still straight as an arrow.

Be nice eventually to add reverb. No w I know you can do it At a later time. I already bought the fiberboard, so I'll use it, I'll make sure it's straight and stays that way. I already noticed something different about this board. When I'm done, I ll show a pic before I eyelet it. The sIII finish and the TC-15 will be a step by step pictorial, like we talked about. Good for the build notes on your site Now that I can actually use a camera

Sucks that you had to be on the road, saw my docs, they changed my meds again (the guinea pig) Put on a new experimental drug. At least 3 more months before I can work. Takes that long for results to hit on this med. but they think this one will work I'll be so happy to work again.

Now on to the brighter side That's 3 months to study and build amps Ha Ha.

How many ams can you build (I'll be selling things just to pay for this venture, oh well). 1 guitar + 40 amps = pure pleasure

I think those pics would be pretty cool, Jac.

What I remember about the real Lightning's reverb was that it...stunk. It was bad. Very thin and whispy. I was able to play the Matchless Lightning w/ reverb in Santa Cruz a week before completing my Lightning last summer and remember the Trinity being an exact match.

Always a footpedal for reverb or Stephen will just have to offer a kit to build a reverb box . At this rate , we're all moving to Canada and working for Stephen
