I found some time to start mounting components onto the Hammond chassis. Most of the front panel is populated, as well as a bit of the backpanel.
One of the on-off-on DPDT switches was a dud, but I had luckily ordered a spare.

 |
| Update 9/4/19: more wire dressing and a few solder joints. |
 |
| Update 9/10/19: I had half an hour to work: layout heater wiring from V5 to V3. It’s more time consuming than I had imagined. |
 |
| Update 9/13/19: Heaters installed. I tried to match the installation depicted in the MetroAmp builder guide. |
 |
| Update 9/26/19: Input jack wiring, more grounds, filter cap wiring, bright cap switches. |
 |
| Update 10/16/19: soldered many of the wires on the main turret board side. |
 |
| Update 10/18/19: Connected turret board to front panel controls and input jacks, laid out mod components on the turret strips. |
