Hi Guys ,
As some of you may already know I have bee agonizing over this one for quit a while now
Well, I think I have my plan! :yes:
I wanted to do this as compact as possible and with no cutting or drilling if possible. I have decide to use a little wood to mount things on. A nice short block cut from one of the blank dividers from one of Daddy's old cigar boxes, some nice tiny screws to mount the "IBAM" board vertically, and a small piece of Mahogany to actually attach it (the little square Radio Shack PC board and block assembly) to the chassis (location yet to be determined) on the horizontal plane. We'll use either silicone adhesive, canopy glue or similar or nylon screws and nuts, depending on where it goes.
I also want all four tip jack test points as well as a jack for the meter's ground connection. And I want/wanted it all in one location, so they will also be mounted on the little Radio Shack board. We are building an "all in one" module. I think this will do it.
We will run the bias feed, the (4) wires from the pots to the grid resistors and the ground wire for the meter up through one of the holes already on the chassis. To do this I will use some nice, thin solid core #20 Teflon coated wire.
My question here today is; will it be "OK" to run ONE (1) wire from one of the lugs on the chassis (I was thinking one of the ones where the a fusitor is attached and simply jumper the "IBAM'S" ground to that up top, on the back of our little board. Result? The "IBAM" circuit AND the meter test point will be sharing the same ground point
This would allow us to not have to run so many wires through the holes and route them underneath.
Any problem with doing it like this? Would that spot, and sharing a ground there, be "OK" from a hum, accuracy or any other reason? In other words, any detriment to doing it this way?
Thanks to all and I hope everyone is doing fine and having a lot of fun! Summer is almost here!
Thanks you all!
Phyllis
