Title: FCE's Stray Cat 30 Build Log Post by: Fat Cat Eric on October 07, 2012, 04:05:38 AM Hello all. Just received my Kit. I bought it on ebay from ceriatone-amp. Here is the link for their ebay page: http://myworld.ebay.com/ceriatone-amps?_trksid=p2047675.l2559 . The amp kit states made by ceriatone.net which is a different website than ceriatone.com. In short, I am hoping this is a valid ceriatone kit made by Nik. If someone could advise.
I would also like to log my progress through this forum thread so I can both help others and also be advised of any mistakes I've made. Criticism will gladly be welcomed. I have a very basic knowledge of amps but this is my first full amplifier build so I've been researching all I can regarding anything and everything regarding amps. I have read in some forums regarding the HT 1a Fast-blo fuses have been blowing in some cases and that it's been replaced with 1A slo-blo. And also if the rectifier is diagrammed correctly on the layout. If anyone has any info and tips of possible problems I need to look out for please respond. Thank you all ahead of time.

The dimensions suited the chassis 19x9x2.5. I hope I got the right one.

Title: Re: FCE's Stray Cat 30 Build Log Post by: Fat Cat Eric on October 19, 2012, 07:42:11 PM I'm on the home stretch.. ******Note******** Please don't use these photos as a reference. There are wires that are not hooked up yet and appear to be attached to the wrong points. It's just the way they came to lay in the chassis. I will post many reference photos when all is done and working properly.
Title: Re: FCE's Stray Cat 30 Build Log Post by: Fat Cat Eric on October 23, 2012, 01:09:03 PM Stray Cat is done. Finished it late last night. I'm just waiting on the head cabinet to be delivered. I'm editing pics and will load sound files very soon. ;D

Title: Re: FCE's Stray Cat 30 Build Log Post by: Fat Cat Eric on April 24, 2013, 08:04:06 PM Hello Ivan. Thanks for the interest. I have a sound clip posted in the Stray Cat Sound Clip thread. I have to edit my photos to make them smaller for the forum. I have so many projects going on that I forgot all about doing it. I will get to it soon.
