Magnavox 175 Tube Amp Project: Step two, binding posts, RCA jacks and more

Magnavox 175-67 Tube Amp Project

New gold plated RCA input jacks and green power light.

While I'm waiting for the capacitors and resistors to come in, I decided to scrounge up some parts I had lying around.  Here's what I found:

1 - Green power light
2 - Gold plated RCA jacks (2)
3 - Fuse holder
4 - Power toggle switch
5 - Speaker binding posts (2 red, 2 black)

Adding these parts wasn't very hard - especially since they're not even wired in yet!  It was fun to spend some time visualizing where I wanted various components to go.  With the exeception of the binding posts, existing holes in the chassis were repurposed to hold the new components.

Skip past the break to see how and where everything was installed.
