Well, don't be too impressed yet! This is the easy/fast stuff. The really tedious/time-consuming/not-much-fun part is the wiring....and except for a little PT wiring, I have all of that ahead of me. Measure, cut, strip, tin, solder, repeat ad nauseum....Originally Posted by Tio Kimo

Didn't you mention cloth covered wiring? That will make the process much easier. I did my JTM45 with it, and being able to cut to length and then just "push back" saves a bunch of wire stripping. (you probably know this already, but I'll mention it in case it helps. Make sure you use SHARP wire cutters, or trim the cloth with a sharp knife as you work, because the downside to cloth wire is that the ends can get furry really fast if you don't cut it clean.)

I'll have to see what the wire looks like this time, but the last BYOC amp kit came with cloth covered wire that also had plastic insulation underneath, so still required stripping.
