DC40B Construction: Day 3

October 15, 2009 | Amateur Radio | By: Mark VandeWettering

Toroids. Today it was winding toroids. I really don’t mind winding ’em, it is stripping and tinning the leads that seems to be annoying. Nevertheless, I got the four toroids done (two simple, one bifilar transformer and one regular) and installed on the board. A simple continuity check between the pads indicates that all is well.

Should be really easy to finish the radio this weekend, just need to install the transistors, ics, a couple of electrolytic caps, and then power/speaker leads.
