Grail amp main board and board fitting

The Grail amp is progressing rapidly now.  This morning, I finished the main board -- the last of six turret boards that this amp requires.  At 21.5" x 3", it's easily the biggest turret board I've ever layed out and constructed.  But with only one exception, everything went smoothly.  The one glitch that I discovered only after having mounted the turrets was that the pinout on the vactrols wasn't quite what I thought it was.  So the vactrols are mounted in somewhat of a spaghetti monster fashion.  It should work just fine, but version 2 of the board will definitely correct this.




As this was the last of the boards, I also had a chance to do an initial test fit of all the boards within the chassis. It's looking good!

Now all that's left to do is start wiring this puppy up. It won't be long now until the Fletchinator roars to life!
