I just received my Tweed Royal today and was looking at the circuit board and how it mounts to the chassis. My question is how does it mount to the chassis? I don't see any holes from the board that line up with holes in the chassis. So far there aren't any pictures posted and I'm at a loss how this is done. Don't make my get my drill out!!!! :evil: That is what a Weber kit is :lol:

EDITED:

Got mine today, too. Looking at the turret board, I believe you will mount it with the two hexagonal brass "standoffs" that came in the nuts-and-bold package, using the small hole between the tops of the first and second large filter caps at the transformer end, and the hole in the lower right corner at the input end. These appear to align nicely with the two slot-shaped holes in the chassis. See diagram below--holes highlighted in green:

I've got an alignment issue with my turret board as well. Took a photo of it in the chassis for Keith and he informed me that the standoff hole in the corner of the pre-amp end of the board was drilled wrong. I drilled a new hole between the existing hole and the edge of the board and now it aligns properly inside the chassis.

Nice work Stephen - that board looks as clean as it can possibly be.

Once you add all the wiring, that purty turret board looks like some kind of mutant upside-down centipede!

Damn! My build has come to a screeching halt. My kit was shorted the wires and the cap for the fuse holder. Should be here some time next week.
