I'm lucky so far I Dont really need magnification
But I'm sure that in a production environment industrial spec magnifiers would be quite the time saver

You can do fine pitch SM chips without magnification? I need proof lol

I can barely do them with magnification.

I can do 603 without magnification - no problem. I did a couple of 402 but with a good daylight. I guess positioning them is the tough part. Once you hold them properly in place it gets easier. Also, BGA balls can be used to take just enough of solder on your soldering tip.

we got batteries installed in 5 cases
and got transformers heatsinks and psu units in two of them
and almost the same in a third
these psus where tested and set to the appropriate voltage

Well done, I would have loved to have done this, maybe next time if you aren't put off! Those amps look the biz.

lol.. next time

we were joking before about calling it the "never again" amp
it really turned out to be quite a lot of work to get the quality and cosmetics we way we wanted
the case work seems to be far more time consuming than the electronics

hopefully all involved will we happy with their amps when there all finished
and be able to sit back and say we built it and it sounds great
