Hi All.
Well, after a somewhat intensive and rather protracted period of spring cleaning as promised in my last post - oh, and a spot of wiring to boot - I'm pleased to report that at long last, the layout is wired........... and working!
And nobody is more suprised than me that it actually all works - first time too (apart from a push-to-make switch which failed to operate and has since been replaced). Just goes to show what a valuable resource the Internet is when a no-hoper like me can get something to run without electrocuting himself in the process!!
To celebrate, I've taken a couple of piccies that I'd like to share with you: I just hope I don't bore you all to death in the process.
Several shots of the below-board wiring: most of it has been reclaimed from old electrical appliances prior to dumping at the tip, and the jack plugs, push-to-make and SPDT switches had been accumulated over the years for a plethora of layouts that never came to fruition (or even got off the drawing board!).
More to follow.
