I wanted to have an amp chassis I could put on the bench and maybe accomplish a few sorely needed achievements
-be able to look at any component and identity it moreover locate it on the schematic
-identify the components of the power supply
-determine the route of the signal path
-do some signal tracing

The amp works I tried it a while back it is missing a speaker

Beautiful ain't it

That white cable is some type of three wire cable I just attached for makeshift speaker wire

Also I see an 8 DIP wondering what that is but all good in the hood because I get to find out  :tu:

As far as the signal path well at least I think it begins at the input jack  xP
