project, seems the plastic board the tweeter was mounted on got shattered
during shipment. Dismounted the tweeter, reassembled the plastic parts, and
applyed a liberal coating of acitone and let it set, this re fused the plastic
parts. Made up new wire harness to plug the speakers into the dual bannana
jacks on the amplifer pcb.

the transformer.

from a 7 day week to a six. Yeah this is going to cut into the dollars, but it
will do well for the sanity point of view.
