Impeccable work, as always. Is this for you or someone else? I would not have pegged you as a plexi person ...

They're poly ero mkt 1813s

They were a nice surprise in the packaged as he said he was sending all TADS or Mallory 150s.

Re: NAD:ip As the weather is getting colder.
Generally I always go for 150s or vishay 1813s in my builds. It's a nice change of pace having a load of different stuff that I wouldn't normally buy myself to muck about with.

Very nice looking work. I've been very curious about the Yeti and was within a few hours of pulling the trigger on one on Ebay this summer. Was hoping that it was a "poor man's Freidman BE" from the looks of it.
Anyways... I've got a Ceri RP 18/36 and a Ceri JTM45 and really like them both (though my blonde Fender Supersonic Twin has been getting all the love as of late).

Re: NAD:ip As the weather is getting colder.
The Friedmans,Camerons etc and even some new Randalls are all based on the Jose Master volume mods from the 80s. Same basic idea with a few tweaks here and there. The Yeti/Chupacabra and now the King Kong are all along those same lines just without the marketing BS

Re: NAD:ip As the weather is getting colder.
Good to know. I've been lusting after a BE100 for the past year. May just go for a Yeti at some point then. I was at the Vegas GC last month, ready to plug into the BE that they had there and finally get to experience what all the hype was about... but the salesman plugged some wanker and his dad in right as I was going for it and told me that they might be a long time and just blew me off. He knew that I was standing there, wanting to give it a spin when he waltzed over with this kid and his dad who looked like they'd just been playing hacky-sack. Keep in mind that I'm a 46 year old IT professional who was dressed very nicely, wearing a Rolex watch.... not some snot-nosed kid off the street. But evidently, none of that mattered to this "salesman". That was my first bad experience with GC. I've bought a few guitars and pedals there over the years while I was visiting, but those will be the last things I ever buy there. I may stop-in when I'm in town... to try things out. But I'll buy them elsewhere. I didn't expect to be worshipped like some royalty, but I did expect to be treated with more than a "get lost" attitude. Now I know why people on the forums bag on GC workers so much. My wife is the most good-natured, laid-back person in the world (also a well-paid, well-dressed professional). But she was PI$$ED by the whole episode. I was just disgusted and told her that it wasn't worth getting too upset over. Screw Guitar Center.

Re: NAD:ip As the weather is getting colder.
You know that you will end up buying it. You may as well just pay me now that way it will be tolexed in Blue snakeskin just the way you want it
Stop building stuff I want but can't afford to buy or trade for!

Re: NAD:ip As the weather is getting colder.
I managed to tear myself away from Farcry 4 for a little while and got the board fully populated. It got a bit cramped towards the left hand side as the turret spacing clearly wasn't done in mind with the TAD caps I didn't realise this until I had almost run out of space so I subbed one of the .1uf caps with a Mallory 150 that I had kicking around.
Now I just need to send the chassis off to get the headshell made and the rest should fly by. Well there is also the fact that Triode electronics haven't even packed my order never mind shipped it yet.
