the primaries will need extending too to get to the back of the case

Hi Nige, did not get started yet on my batch, too much going on this past 2 weeks but I am hoping this coming weekend will make a big dent in the work required.
I think i may have enough terminals but I will have a better idea next week, bought some extra as I was in Maplins geting some silver solder recently.
Any idea what length we need for the power supply lines, we did not get a measurement on that at Frans last time?
Bought some red and black shrink wrap from Radionics which I might try and use to tidy up the cables as the braiding looked too messy when we last looked at using it.

most guys are unavailable til next month between hols and work commitments
maybe leave the primaries til we get a measurement
my thoughts on the braid was to use the smaller round braid i got coz its tidier,
and if necessary cut all secondaries about inch half from the toroid and extend from there for sake of uniformity
it will fit reasonably easily over the existing secondaries

I did not have any braiding so used some heat shrink instead.
Glad to finally get most of this work out of the way as it was tedious...did not do any checks yet but hopefully no duds!!
Missing about 20 Connectors but can add them quickly at the next get together.

Nice work
I made a speaker cable out of solid core silver and heat shrinked it
Never again
The heatshrinking was painful

Looks like we are nearly done with this part so - the copper links are underway as well - so I think we are getting fairly close to being able to make a start on assembly?
We could start by mounting the batteries into the cages, fitting them to the bottom plate, figuring the neatest run for wiring front panel to back etc.
