For something to do while waiting for Dingotone to dry I recently bought a bunch of pedal kits and a couple of Lamington Amp Kits
So in this thread I will be building a Lamington Jr 2w valve amplifier
This kit is billed as ideal for beginners as it uses a 12v plugpack rather than 240v mains
You can purchase these as a kit or the instructions on their own. One thing I have noticed with the kits is that the parts supplied don't always match up with the parts list in the manual, mainly the caps not quite matching up (there were a couple I couldn't identify as well) and the pots supplied being 1M linear instead of the 500k Audio listed.
The chassis as supplied
one of the holes was missing as well the grommets (the other kit has them) so I bought some grommets from clark rubber and drilled the missing hole and enlarged the other one to fit the grommets. Drilling the thin sheet metal proved to be a challenge and while the end result wasn't pretty, the mess was covered by the grommets.
Hardware installed and the first wire started. I need to get an underside shot which I'll do tonight.
I decided to stick with the supplied pots as getting the 500k pots with the same hole mount size was a pita.
