Yeah those extra boards are hard to work around. Of course a dog bone I needed to replace ran underneath one and I tried to work around it but ended up having to pull the whole thing out with all the wiring. Patience tester.
Jayce, somehow I ended up with 2 butterfly units which ended up being great to have one chassis to look at while working on the other. I had hoped to get both running, but ended up having to steal the band switch from the backup unit. The original band switch had frozen up and I tried every trick to get it freed up, couldn’t get it to budge. BTW, on the tone control, the mid-tone I had to modify the cap value from what I could find on the forum and info if you ever work on your tone control. Recommendation is us a 0.02u for mid, but I found a 0.004u worked best to get good mid-tone balance.
Anyway, fun stuff, my wife loves the butterfly cabinet so I’m working on it for her.
