You guys are awesome! Thanks for all of the information thus far. I'm definitely going to do this build, I sort of dove in and started ordering parts figuring a) I'm confident that this forum will provide the support and knowledge needed to get this thing working, and b) I could just find the parts and order them.
I know a) still holds true, b) on the other hand is where I'm starting to struggle. The schematic shows a 2.5A circuit breaker, which I'm assuming needs to be rated for 120vac. I can't find this anywhere! Should I just replace it with a fuse? If so, slow blow or fast acting?
I'm also wondering how to go about finding a chassis. Does anyone have any idea what size the Randall chassis is? From what I've read I believe I should try to find aluminum. And from the looks of this page, and the information in this thread, the chassis itself is the heatsink, with the addition of some aluminum blades screwed to the top. This thread really gave me a better idea of what I've just described. http://gear-monkey.com/forum/showthread.php?t=55
Sorry for the lengthy post, but in short, does anyone have any suggestions on a breaker/fuse and/or a chassis?
