Plexi SE PCB Valve Junior Conversion   

Version 2 

Build Manual 

 

23 August 2009

6.  Prepare the Chassis 

6.1  Layout and Drill 

 

The Plexi SE PCB, and control potentiometers require some drilling in the 
chassis. 

6.1.1

 

Layout the Plexi SE PCB for Drilling 

 

Since the Plexi SE PCB was designed to use the stock EVJ chassis standoffs, 
the best method to mark the additional chassis holes is to install the board. 
 
Lay the circuit board in the chassis, align the stock mounting studs, and install 
two to three screws to fasten the board.  With the board aligned to the chassis, 
mark the four additional drill locations as shown.
