More wire tidying, as well as fitting the right angled RCA connector.

I also ran the USB cable that goes into the sound decoder. I have ordered this for the isolator. I don't think it will fit just all plugged in on the mobo.

I attempted to put the cover back on it yesterday. I failed. It was a sod at the best of times, but it seems because of the way I built the internals it would not slot in at the sides any more. So I had to cut off the tangs that used to go in. I also had to cut the back, as it would not clear the new power socket.

 

So for the first time since the day it arrived it is now back in one whole piece.

The only issue is you can see the silver through the sides now. Easy bit of painting at the end.

It's worse the other side. I had to clearance around back too.

But it is all happy enough now.

OK so finally some time. I set up the sound device, with a DAC just to make sure it works.

It does.

Hoping to get some more time at the weekend to finish up.

Not much needed now tbh.

I then gave up because the humidity is absolutely horrible here today.

So today I machined what will hopefully be the last pieces. Last night after I posted I drilled and tapped the little table thing for the digital sound thing. I then fitted that properly. Today I made something similar for the filter in the rear.

I just didn't want it hovering around in there.

That should be all of the machining done. I do have a couple of things left to do, namely painting the edge where it meets the face panel here.

The top used to have tangs in that area that push fit into the sides of the front. Problem is it had been mangled and when I repaired it it ended up that the tangs would not go in there. Not even with a plastic hammer :D so I cut them off, but now you can see that silver metal through the gaps. I will likely just cut some vinyl pieces and stick them down.
