[QUOTE="Ampdog, post: 76871, member: 144"] If I may interject, a morsel of info ..... As for construction method, I seem to gather that a group board (components parallel, next to one another) gives a neater look than point-to-point, although requiring longer wires, running perhaps close to places where they are not wanted. Construction-wise, commercially there seemed to have been 'wirers', component 'lay-outers' and 'solderers' in a row. This suited some manufacturers better (See The Leak Manual , a photographic history of the Leak organisation.) Others preferred the shorter point-to-point system as Karl illustrates here. That was my own choice in the amplifier shown in my avatar. (The underside picture is somewhere on this forum, will hunt for it.) That can also look quite impressive if one cares to mount components at right-angles. And in r.f. - not relevant here - boy, you do point-to-point shortest route, regardless of appearance! From my side, anyone who has ever tried to repair/refurbish will HATE those stiff twisted-around connections! I simply push through and solder - I am not constructing an army tank. But again in commercial manufacturing it suits where there are single tasks given to separate workers - a flow-chain sort of thing. Thanks, Karl [/QUOTE]
