As they say "a funny thing happened on the way to the forum".....................
I was working on this set around March/April this year and then all sorts of things happened ( heart attacks... rehab...other hobbies..you know) and the set just lay about the workshop. I had built a wooden cabinet to the point of enclosing the speakers, sorting those out and half wrote up a part 4 and now its October!

I'll send a PDF to Brad with the part 4 finished, concerning the speakers, then follow up with a part 5 with some more experimenting using the SC MM generator and then finally finish with part 6 with the styling and the complete cabinet.

Cheers, Fred.

I know it's a sin but I am jealous, Fred. I wish I had more time on my hands to do things like this. Smile

Thanks Fred, I always love reading your exploits and always learn something new or have a better understanding of what I already knew. Look forward to the final two chapters.
