So here we go getting started with my late 68 early 69 theamed Superlead.
Making my own turret board I got some 3mm paxolin and cut it out to size.
I got the drill press cheap on the bay, it's good for drilling the holes nice and square but not man enough for staking the turrets so I did that by hand.
You can see the template I used for drilling out the perf board, got that from watts tube audio. It's spaced in metric so slightly wrong but it still looks OK and produces a better cleaner job than I could have otherwise.
The template is however a little short for a full board with snubbers so carefully care had to be taken to align the holes when I moved along and 're taped the template in place.
Also had to be really carefully about scratching the paxolin, it's not so robust.
Great care had to be taken to avoid blowouts when drilling it. My technique was carbide tip drill bit on high speed and go gently with it to avoid the blowouts.
