Title: Ceriatone 100w HRM BM / C-lator - documented build thread link
Post by: cyndicate on June 10, 2010, 06:18:03 PM
Here's a link to my build thread at another forum for anyone interested. Hope this helps! Big thanks to Nik @ Ceriatone for troubleshooting at the end and for Mcinku for his build thread which helped.

The thread shows the 100W HRM BM and the C-lator.

Here's the link.

Side notes/Tips.. I wish I knew before building

1. Do not peel the white backing to the back/face plates, the plates are held up by the pots/hardware.
2. For 3 & 5 lug terminal strips, do not use the middle lug unless you intend to ground it.
3. For the C-lator build, scrape off the paint at the ground lugs before you build it. Or else it wont provide a ground to the chassis, I learned this the hard way.
4. For Power Transformer wiring, for the 60v and 6v it is in AC so it does not matter which one you use for 60v / 0v.
5. Fit transformers to make sure everything alligns (I used Mercury Magnetic transformers) so I had to drill some extra holes.

Hi there, just finished my HRM too. Very good build thread there, well done! I also noticed you mentioned that the Master didn't work on the OD channel. Mine also, is this right or did I do something wrong too? I was going to email Nik about this but I have probably bugged him enough... LOL

Thanks! Yeah I found it odd and emailed Nik, he said the master only works in clean mode, so it's fine. :)
