I did that Andre. The PT looks rather fetching in CF, but wish I'd used a bit thicker sheet as 1mm is a little too flimsy. Plus I learnt a few lessons along the way so may go there again in the future.
Wasn't too much of an issue on the 110 as the whole lot has a composite structure on the underside supporting the CF which is just there for asthetics.
Can't you get tho's cutter burn marks out of the grooves at all?
Someone did mention some old world and nigh on impossible to attain fluid, but otherwise I left it 'as is' for character!
To try and sand them out would have ruined the fluting.
Best way to deal with it, is to have a sharp router in the first place.
Machining like that needs the cutter to be running at higher speeds than a router can give to be rightsQuote:

As I can't leave anything alone, I set about some mods. Fet based reg on the filter, seperate STD 7805's for the receiver both analogue and digital, audiocom regs on the 3 supplies to the tda, loads of uF on the supplies, LME47920HA's decoupled with pans FM and bummed the horrid elco dc blockers for some ampohm's! How's it sound? a million dollars! Def worthy of a case and a bit more work ;-)
Couple if pics for those who like that sort of thing (that would include me!!)

Thanks
Made this for development work, plus and minus outputs up to 290V.
Cost me nothing too :), all parts out of the skip.

Progress so far on a Transcendent Sound "Son of Beast" 15W OTL. The only one in his range that's fully point-to-point (though I think there's a 300B SE OTL in the works which will be also) --- 2 weeks and it's still not done!
