1.6.2 Organization of this Manual

Building  an  amplifier  takes  time  and  requires  attention  to  detail  and  concentration.    It's  not
something that you should rush: take the time, be patient, and give yourself a break when necessary.
To help guide you through the process, we've divided the work into a number of discrete tasks, each
with  its  own  section  in  the  manual.    The  big  picture  is  simple:  we'll  begin  with  the  mechanical
assembly  and then  progress  to  the  wiring.    We  provide  easy  to  follow,  step-by-step  assembly  and
wiring instructions and we prepare the parts you'll need in 15 separate sections, with all IEC cabling
and twisted wire prepared for you ahead of time, making it easy to work through each build stage.
The result: we hope that your kit is a joy to build!

We've divided the build and the manual into the following sections:

  1.  Introduction
  2.  Mechanical Assembly
  3.  Installing the Transformers
  4.  Power Supply Wiring
  5.  Filament Supply Board Installation
  6.   Filament Supply Board Interwiring
  7.   Front Insert Plate Wiring
  8.   Interstage Transformer Wiring
  9.  Installing and Wiring the Rear Connectors
10. Wiring Check Lists
11.  Testing
12.  Finishing Touches
13.  Final Thoughts
