This arrived today. Metro 100 watt 1959 Super Lead kit. I opted for the Mercury Magnetics transformers. I went with the O100JM-S, 2" stack output tranny and the regular Mercury power tranny that comes with the kit. Sozo caps and all that other good stuff. Here's a teaser while I finish uploading the rest of the photos from today:

:D

Good luck dude! I'll be checking in periodically.
 
Great choice on the kit. I have always wanted to this, you are a braver man than I am.

Hope you don't loose too much hair putting it together. :)

Looking forward to the reports :rock:
 
Too Cool Dude :thumbsup: , I have always wanted to do that, I will keep my eyes AND ears open for the progress, please show plenty of pics of the progress, and you other dudes, its a little early for clips,,I would not expect those until tomorrow!!
 
These suckers are like twice the size of the regular trannies. So I had make new mounting holes in the chassis. That was a pain in the ass...

Man, they just look sexy!!! Can't wait to see this amp come together. :thumbsup:
 
Nice :rock: I've been thinking about doing one of these lately. Boredom from being laid off :(
 
I'm in. Should be cool to watch. :thumbsup:

I'd like to think I have the skills to do something like that. It's the patience I might be lacking... :confused:
 
Great stuff, looking forward to watching the progress
those red MM's are really sexy :inlove: :inlove:
 
Outstanding! You doing any tweaks along the way, like cascading, or you just doing a normal build?
 
Cool stuff!!!! :rock:

I've been thinking about their JTM45 kit.

Love watching builds.

I will be building it to stock 1959 spec. with 100k feedback on the 4ohm tap. After the amp is broken in (probably around 75 hours) I'll throw a .68 cap for the presence and a .68 for v2 also change both caps out of v1 to .022. And I'll probably cut the bright cap. Then maybe a PPIMV or play around with cascading gain. But, I'll probably have see how it sounds first.

I couldn't wait for the amp to break in before installing a PPIMV. Those things are ungodly loud :yes:
