Solder fumes start to fill the air

The workbench is tidy and ready for some mayhem. Based on my past form with projects it will rapidly degenerate to an advanced state of chaos over the next few weeks.


















The eyelet boards have been stuffed with components and soldered up. So far so good.
Main component board - old school electronics 


I still need to cut and solder the hookup wire to the main board but will leave this until I test fit everything in the chassis.

Bias supply board

I bought a second hand 60-Watt Goot  soldering station from eBay. I thought my cheapo 35-Watt iron was good until I started using this. Heats up really quickly and maintains constant temperature. Money well spent.
