Vero Layout for Thor

[phil]

Here's a Vero Layout that I came up with for ROG's Thor that I just finished building. There's quite a few cuts and jumpers as this is my attempt to create a Vero layout, but it seems fairly compact for Vero - in fact, for the VR2 trimmer there isn't room for a horizontal mounted one, so used vertically mounted trimmers.

If you do build it, be sure to mount the C5 capacitor before mounting the VR2 trimmer and flatten the bottom lead so that VR2 will sit on top of it ... I mounted VR2 and then realized that it covered the C5 lead (7k on the diagram).

I've learned so much from the members on this forum,  I'm glad I was able to contribute something that hopefully will be useful to other members  ... this forum is awesome!

I forgot to post the link to the thor schematic though:

In reviewing my build, I also noticed that R2 also needs to be mounted before VR1 as VR1 sits on the top lead of R2 - When I did my build, I just happened to mount R2 first, so I didn't have a problem with it.

Here's a picture of my build with Red circles around the two areas where the trim pots sit onto of the leads ...



If anyone uses my layout to do their build, would you please let me know how it turns out? Even though my build from this layout works well, I'd like to get someone else's feedback before I actually mark the layout as verified. Thanks!
