looks great. nice job moving the transformer so you could fit it in a 1590BB enclosure. Is that a separate aluminum plate on top with the lettering?

Thanks - yeah just a thin sheet (0.045"? 0,062"?) polished then decals and protective varnish over it. I like labeling my controls - but also like black boxes - so it's what I've come up with as my "style".

The "label" plates are of some vintage aircraft parts from a (now defunct) company.

Nice Job, has kind of a retro look to it

Beautiful front panel.
Good solution to the height problem! I wonder if mounting the transformer on the solder side of the board and using long-leg pots would also work.

That was the issue with Paragon Version 1 with Long-Leg pots . Then a lot of the components ie Electrolytics sit too High.

possibly but you'd have to move a lot of the caps to the other side too...

yep - it all adds up - remote was the easiest. That's what I did not my Simulcast to fit into a 1590B

Damn, that's a good looking build!
