Shannon et al,
Thanks for all the help. Just finished this other than to respray the PT cover which was a kind of crackle finish. Fired up first time and dead silent. it sounds wonderful and it is not run in at all. Great design Shannon. And thanks to he who sent me the Front Panel design which saved me a lot of measuring for the PCB screws. I modified it a fair bit. Mostly to make it cheaper!
PT TRA400 from askjanfirst (http://www.askjanfirst.com/)-really helpful guy. I got the cover for an earlier project but it just happened to fit.
THe heater voltages were a little high so I put in 2x 0.18R. One side is 6.4 the other is 6.3. Should I try to get them to be identical? In fact all the voltages are slightly high but only by around 4% or so. The primary is 100/117/230v and I'm on 240v This is sometimes 245v out of the wall. So much for Euro harmony!
Valves are 1970's 6C4C winged logo, NOS 6H9C and RCA 6AX5GT.
Best
John
