Soldered connectors for signal to grid, wires for heaters and wires to cathode resistors.
2012-03-27 Done some internal wiring using silver wire. Also made ground points for the 47nF/47R-filter that comes after the I/V-resistors.

2012-03-29 Tube output buffer is almost done. Good because I have two Philips NOS ECC86 waiting to be used(one is to change tubes when the first one has lived its life)

Wires going off picture is for heater, they will be twisted and soldered to chassis connector.

At first power-up.nothing. The 500mA Fuse I used wasnt enough. Switched it to a 1A Fast blow fuse, and now it works fine. To early to really comment on sound quality, but after just 20min listening I can say that Im not dissapointed 2012-04-02 Got I/V-resistors from Hificollective today. Amtrans AMRG and Holco H2
Also recieved a 4-pin connector so I can connect both wallwarts in the PS for the ECC86 tube output to one connector.

2012-04-08 47R Amtrans AMRG I/V-resistors with 47R/47nF-filter soldered to them. Wire thatll go to signalgnd is also soldered. Left to do on this part of the build is to solder wires from I/V-resistors to signal out from the TDA1541A, and to solder wires from I/V-resistors to ECC86 grids(with gridstoppers between).

2012-04-09 Got some more work done on the tube ooutput. Also I connected the separate PS for the tube output to one 4-pin connector. And finally a first idea on how to place the I/V-resistors and filter.

2012-04-10 The Tube output is playing!! And playing very well I might add I had to correct an error Id made with the I/V-resistors
