The wiring on the top plate for the 6EM7 “Bloodwood” Amplifier is essentially complete.
But as I was just looking at the picture I realized that I had not included the ground tie between signal ground and chassis ground. So one wire short. Here’s what it looks like.
The layout is actually pretty clean. Individual stage power filters are at the top underneath the output transformers. The signal sections are below, wired directly to the octal sockets.
There are a few minor changes to some circuit values. I will post both an “as built” schematic as well as an “as designed” schematic including acceptable substitutions when I post the final project page. The next step is to install the top plate on the chassis and wire in the mains, panel indicator, primary filter choke, volume control, and speaker terminals. Then it will be time for some testing.
As always, questions and comments are welcome.
