Well ... Edcor delivered right on time, 4 weeks from the time I placed
the order, and UPS delivered one day AHEAD of schedule, so no maps
or laments from me ....

I built this last night, with the Edcor XPWR-008 and GXSE15-8-5K's
from the 50 pound package.

I did notice a little bumpiness in the wood after I took the pics, next
to the volume control. That's been moved to the back.

Looks very professional, as always Tom. I ought to pick up a couple more of those Clementine boards myself. :)

The wood ends really enhance the looks, makes it a lot less "industrial" looking (like mine).

I like your creative method for tying off the two UL leads. I generally just cut them off short, and then cap off the ends withheat shrink "condoms"

Very nice build! The black finish does look much nicer.
I wish they offered aluminum in black, as I find steel a bit too hard to work.

Tom, I use those exact same power entry sockets. I bought a dozen a while back and made a marking template out of thin plastic. Just some carefull Dremel work and smidgen of filing and drilling two holes and Bob's your uncle.

Ty - The Clementine is a nice board for a quick build, and they sound
great ...

Ed - I've used various tie off methods to retain the screen leads for
future use, this has to be the best yet

Fiddler - I find steel much easier to work than aluminum. When I
drill holes in aluminum (soft) they look like crap.
Steel seems more exacting.

FYI - I use a DeWalt battery powered drill, decent bits, a UniBit,
and Greenlee 1 1/6" (tube sockets) 5/8" (grommets)

Mike - I like those IECs ... the fuse in a drawer with spare is nice.
I should make a template, I use a Stanley slide caliper and
draw the shape with a grease pencil, then guess the offset.
Sometimes I need to file, sometimes it slides right in !

If you put a block of wood on the back side of where you are drilling, the holes come out much nicer.
