RicardusI got all of the XLR grounds wired to the chassis ground. I'm really close to being done. Most of the stuff I can't finish now is because I need the panel to do so.
I started wiring the AC side of this preamp and realized I was out of black wire which is of course what you used to designate the hot leg in America.

@rev_mook Tubes are 6922's. I built one before but I've added features to this one.
The only thing keeping me from christening this one is the cost of the custom front panel.
If you click on the #PMillettBuild hashtag and the #TubePreBuild hashtag there will be pics of the first build.
Almost all of the audio wiring is done in this now. Finished it today. What's left is the AC wiring, which I really can't do until I get the front panel. Reason being one of the items mounted to the front panel attaches from the outside.
I did a little more wiring on this tube mic preamp. It's almost completely wired. The panel you see is only a stand-in to make sure all of the switches and knobbies would fit without issue. The panel is the right size with the right holes that a friend with a waterjet at his metalshop cut for me for testing purposes. The real front panel will be thicker (either 3mm or 1/8th inch) and decorated with color and lettering and such.

If you're into electronics and home recording, recording in general, or making, I've got a ton of projects I've built over the last 3 or 4 years all documented to varying degrees up here with hashtags.
Here they are. Good luck.

Had a great day tracking overdubs at the studio today. We did lots of lead vocals, some acoustic guitar tracks which I didn't get pictures of, and some keyboard overdubs as well (also no pics). The Millet tube preamp made it out for the overdubs as well as one of the 1176s.
I don't know if I talked about this in another post but I'll be using the EIZZ 24-step precision attenuators instead of pots in an upcoming build. These things are nice.
Version 1 of a panel design for adding an output attenuator to the Pete Millet tube mic preamp build. My friend Christopher gave me the idea and I thought it was great.
It's a little cramped so I gotta tighten it up a bit. But I got time.
