The assembly phase has finally begun. The power amplifier board is ready, the preamplifier board has been restored, the chassis has been cleaned, and the Zener diode has been relocated to a dedicated heatsink to improve reliability and reduce heat stress on the PCB. Now it's time to start putting everything back where it belongs. In this episode, we'll be mounting the transformer, installing the boards, fitting the main filter capacitor, and gradually bringing the Tesla AZS 217 back to life.
