Please visit the
>>Project page for more infos about the amp, schematics and layout.
INCLUDED:
- Chassis
- Faceplate
- Transformers
- Resistors
- Capacitors
- Jacks
- Light
- Wires
- Board
- Switches
- Tubes
- Fuses & Fuesholder
NOT INCLUDED:
To build this project knowledge in electric engeneering, experience with high voltage, and the reading and understanding of schematics and dealing with measurement device is highly recommended .
There is NO step-by-step guide for beginners. The circuit and layout plan includes all relevant information. If you don't understand it then don't build it.
THIS IS NOT A BEGINNERS PROJECT !
I was very pleased by the quality of the components delivered by Tube Town, everything is included, nothing is missing, I also enjoyed a very fast delivery.
I asked a question about the forum being mostly in German, and they replied very quickly ! What else ?
I will definitely order again from this site. Very much recommended. precautions because of the potentially lethal high voltages. I learnt a lot, even though I have a small electronic background mostly in numeric electronics. It was great. But the schematic were lacking some stuff like an explanation of the "strange" jack sockets and the 2 resistor used on the heater wires to make a virtual ground which were not useful since the kit came with the hammond power transformer which has a center tap for the 6.3v heater wires. But all in all, it went pretty well and forced me to dive into specs and schematics and forums about how to wire the power transformer for a 230v network and I believe a little difficulty is good for learning. One issue though is that the 500T fuses kept on blowing so I replaced them with 1A fast fuse and its okay now. The other issue was that the light did fail later on. I replaced it with a LED with a resistor and a diode (see Rob Robinette's site). I also added a Mid cut pot which is very useful indeed (same site). The amp is very quiet and I love its sound. It's really a great kit to start fiddling with amps.
