Finished!
I started this DR build several years ago, and took my time. I built turret boards, reverb and different voicing on both channels, and (since I had one), a multitap Hammond OT. I "finished" it last year, but had a bug, got frustrated, and moved on to another project. I got it back down a while back and found I had misread the multiplier on a resistor. I installed the correct value, and all is well. When trying to install the chassis in the cabinet, I found nothing fit! I had to move the chassis inward, as well as the speaker baffle, which was also too short. I made a spacer to cover the gap between the baffle and the chassis, Finally, it's together, I test fit the Jensen concert that needs a new cone, and installed a JBL in the meantime, it sure is sweet!

Re: Finished!
Hell Yeah!
That is one triumphant victory!
It's the bugs in the build that teach us the most.
Ima thinkin you're gonna like the JBL.
Hearty Cheers!

Re: Finished!
Sweet!
I notice you have a solid state rectifier what's that do for the sound?

Re: Finished!
That's beautiful! The spacer between the chassis and the grill looks intentional! Like "I meant to do that". I imagine it sounds great! What's the different voicing?

Re: Finished!
Thanks all!
I changed some cap values in the "normal" channel, I don't remember off hand the values, "normal" is brighter. I used the SS rectifier because I robbed the GZ34 I bought for it for another project, I plan to get another, and re-bias. I haven't cranked it up yet, I suspect the SS will make a difference at higher levels, but not really noticeable yet.

Re: Finished!
Just an update with the 60's Jensen EM speaker installed. (Weber reconed it).
