** EDIT 11/26/12 **
Corrected Tweed Royal build instructions (rev. 1.0.1) are now available at
http://buildyourownclone.com/tweedroyalinstructions.pdf=====================
Looks like the wrong diagram was used, because the connection not only starts at the wrong capacitor, but connects to the Volume 1 pot, right next to the input jacks.
I brought this and several other errors/omissions to Keith's attention; a corrected version of the instructions should be posted within a few days. Not surprising that a 140 page document might have a few mistakes! Keith also tells me that there are an additional 20 pages of photos to be added for the chassis wiring to the turret board, rotary switch and tube filament heaters.
In the meantime, we'll post a list of the known errors here, and add any more that might be discovered in the meantime:
pg. 5 - Parts Checklist shows two 0.022uf axial leaded film capacitors, but the kit only uses one.
pg. 22 - Doesn't say which length of which of the two lengths of yellow wire goes where, and doesn't mention measuring & cutting the black wire at all. Following the directions for cutting and stripping the yellow wires, the instructions should say:
"Then, insert the 2.5" yellow wire into terminal lug with the second 68k resistor, shown above on right. Insert the 3.5" yellow wire into the terminal lug with the third 0.1uf cap & 100k resistor. Next, cut a 2.5” piece of black wire. Strip 1/8” of cover off both ends. Insert the black wire into the upper terminal lug with the 1.5k resistor, as shown above."
pg. 47 - Photo is missing green arrow for solder joint; should point to the eyelet with the brown wire inserted, at the top of the photo next to the white wire.
pg. 52 - Text should say "Route the
blue, red and brown wires through the grommet closest to the power transformer."
pp. 52 & 53 - Should specify #6 screw sizes for mounting the two OT's.
pg. 60 - Rotary switch pictured has solder lugs, not PC mount terminals, as the text says.
pg. 65 - Wrong photo, quite clearly
pg. 105 - Wrong diagram, as described above; shows Vol1 pot & wire connection; should show Vol2 connection as below:
