Time for assembly!
Power trans, new C24X choke, NOS russian tube sockets, driver plate, etc. The power trans is mounted on faucet washers, beveled on top flat on bottom, to cut down on noise.
Wiring it up, added the cap board, restuffed quad cap from previous thread. Power switch moved to front, no more burned arms! The original cloth insulation was stiff and a heat gun took care of that. Installed failsafe 100k resistors to bias pots, THANKS to GEEK for the idea!
10 ohm cathode resistors mounted to front test sockets.
Smoke test #1 using sacrificial JJ 5AR4 and leftover EL34's from a Music Reference RM9. I have since replaced the 5AR4 with UF5408 diodes mounted in an old metal tube and replaced the CL50 with a CL90, I was out of them but found one stashed away.
