I'm starting to put things in place (now I know why they call it stuffing) are there any other tips to on placing components. Earlier it was mentioned that the DM2540s should be at right angles, which I've done. The Tx's and choke arealso set at right angles to one another. I will be using Belden 8450 (2 conductor shielded w/drain) as much as possible for signal and power path. Heaters will be wired with silver-plated copper wire with Teflon insulation. I will mimick Bottlehead's SEX kit as much as possible for the appropriate wiring choice. What about grounding the Tx and choke frames to earth? Also, the tube sockets I'm using have a center pen for ground. Should this go to earth as well? Any and all suggestions are more than welcome......Colin

The cap also can be omunted with a 2.5 inch clamp. Allied sells these, as well( I think ) as Angela. A proper 2.5 inch holesaw does the trick for me. I have not figured how to do it well w/o a drill press. low RPM is required to keep the HSS from overheating and keep it straight and perpendicular. regards, Douglas

hey-hey!!!, Don't forget the PS is a choke-input. Even the smalllish 193C is going to take up a bit of room, let alone the 8039. they radiate in both directions in line with the lamination stack. They oughtn't interfere with each other in a bad way, but if pointed the wrong direction could get into other stuff. regards, Douglas
