Maybe start a new thread to share layouts, BOMs, schematics, sources.

Ideas?
I've been trying to start a layout for a while now, but I don't have proper dimensions of the boards... Normster has a pretty good '97 HRM layout partially completed and posted elsewhere on the site that looks like a really good starting point if we can nail the dimensions on Funk's boards & chassis holes, etc.

What were they listed under? I couldn't find them anywhere but maybe they had already sold out. Hopefully I'll be able to get in on the next batch.

Either way, I'm eager to start planning with schematics & layouts.

I'd like to do a 50w HRM w/ Skyliner and a 1/2 power switch... Does anyone have anything like that already planned out?

Congratulations Funk! Did you think these would move as quick as they did? I'm thankful I tuned into Ebay when I did. I guess you'll be a little busy at the shippers on Monday :) I really look forward to doing this build just from the killer developements this site has generated in the last couple of years. On top of having a dreamy selection of first rate amp tones. I hope you folks that might have missed out get in on the next batch . Did you ever reveal the total number of units in this batch?

There has to be a layout that matches the PCBs and eyelet boards. Funk, is that something you can share?

I'll start a new post.

Join the club. I don't get home from work until 4am (12 hour shift) and don't get to bed until 5 so I'm not good for much of anything at 8. :(

We'll see what he does. I know the batch before this one was last year, and it took about 5 times longer from announcement to market than this one did. Chances are he'll have one for you and I before too long.

I set two alarm clocks and was glad I did.

Is the preferred transformer set for a 100W still the Mercury Dynaco OT and Mercury Blackface Twin for PT and Choke?

Does the Dynaco have 4,8 and 16ohm taps.

Thanks funk. I can't wait to see the chassis.

I'm a bit pissed. I too work/gig late, and lo and behold when I checked to see the latest update on when the auction might start, it was over. Jeez Funk, I wish you coulda given more than overnight warning for the start of the auction. I was one of the first to email you and claim a set, so that's why I'm a bit pissed. I do agree the auction was a good way to do it, it just kinda sucks that no doubt some guy who wandered in a week ago get's a set and I get stiffed. Maybe a little more lead time on the auction start might be the MOST fair way to do it, not just guys who happened to catch the post Friday. And, yes, I did check every day or two to see what was happening, including Thursday. Oh well guys, have fun building, guess I'll find alternate hardware elsewhere.
I'm STILL too loud???

I ordered two of them. What schematic should I use for reference?
