Things are really cooking on this project now! Dad has been test fitting the parts to the prototype chassis:
(Erik was contributing the brainstorming with his crayon drawing!)
They are going to be retro [color=0000ff]BLUE[/color] with a black front and back panel. A few key changes:
1. Dual switchable voltage, just like is on the DS-5R.
2. Modular IEC connector for power. Muuuuuch easier for travel and also repair.
3. Most components are mounted on a new printed circuit board (represented by a metal plate under my dad's hand). Whopiiiie!
Like I said, things are really cooking, shipping should be in 30 days or less.
