New toy in the neighboorhood, which is actually mine since yesterday... One of a kind driving experience.

Kerry, brilliant work, cheers ! Dunno why, but SMD for high voltages (when possible) seems to be safer to me. Less chance of badly bent things, and cold solder joints. But I'm uneducated.

What do you think of its sound ?

Tomorrow I have an appointment for a used Lotus Elise S2... Maybe I'll sign.

I was sure there was a technical explanation. I started to salvage the traces, and copper it is. 4 oz. Damn hard to get rid of. Those boards are borderline too much overkill.

You can clearly see the "leakage", but at a second look you may peek traces between second and upper third row.

I may post a picture if I can catch it with my crappy phone. It looks like leaking copper around the holes, but I can also see direct connections between adacent holes.

Yes, this is the only area of both boards with bad looking traces around the holes,making undue connections. Think I'm going to salvage them, helped by the gerber's bottom copper traces.

Yep, a shrunk blue board. But the one I have on hands have connection between each and every one of the 6 holes, both vertically and horizontally. Of course nothing is soldered to it yet.

Yes I did compare, but it's suspect.

While going very slowly, I inspected my blue board PS and have a question. It looks there is a mistake on it at filament relay. Are the 3 lower rows of pads supposed to be connected together ? I have continuity from a row to another (except the upper row obviously).

So classy, thank you !

Big children are happy with weired toys... At least no Lenesas here ! (always crappy pictures with me)

Any finished system here ? I also would like to know if mpsa are OK for the ubal to bal boards ? And what is the proper way to use them with dynalo mk2 ? Thanks

Wow, massive madness here ! Can't wait to see it built.

Just build one yourself ! We are waiting for your thoughts and tweaks

It looks good all SMT. And quite straightforward. I have just finished Sjostrom's Qrv-08 today, which is trickier with it's massive PS.

Texas components make them to order with no additional cost.

I am interested indeed !

Copied. I'll order the through-hole version as I still have some MPSA/MPSW

One set is two boards ? I'm in for a balanced dynalo.

Add a randomisation, and the doctor will receive what the patient's doesn't know giving (sorry that sound weird) !

Thank you GeorgeP.

Dr Gilmore said that the LED must be 2.1V. I've ordered the recommended Lite-On, and they appear to be 1.9V on my cheap chinese tester. I presume it's alright ? Another question regarding the 3W resistor. The old BOM says 3W, some PCB say 1W. The 5.11k one is stocked at 2W (Vishay/Dale), not 3. And could be obtained at 5.1k (Vishay/BC)... This has already been discussed, but I can't find that info. Thanks
