Hood Amp Bridge
#4
Hi Mr. Strelok

That is a very nice clean chassis.

I wonder why you would bury the bridge under the turret strips? I believe some would refer to this as a "service nightmare".

I have used that type of bridge in the past and you can solder wires to its lugs. Of course, the intended connection method uses 1/4" fast-on terminals that one crimps to insulated wire. These lugs are very common, widely available and very inexpensive. You can get them at any electronics parts store, or from the usual large distributors, or from places like Aliexpress.

To crimp the lugs onto wires, you can use pliers, or those cheapo wire cutter-crimper tools, or a dedicated crimper. All of these are again super affordable - a few Euros - what regular folk like us can afford Smile

Such a clean chassis demands not starting on the wrong foot.

Cheerio
