I updated the picture a bit, because it's an integrated and I forgot the volume control. It also has a bass and treble adjustment, but both are increase only. As such, with the controls fully CCW, there are no additional capacitors in the circuit, just 4 extra resistors. don't know if that 6SN7 will have enough gain. The bass and treble circuits came from Angela's fun with tone controls, but have less 'action'. Instead of 15db bass and treble gain, they are more like 7.
EWBrown; I do have a 0D3, 0B3, 0A2, but I don't think I'll have enough room. I was thinking of making this one very compact (because the others have been so big). This one was also going to be all octal, except for the GU-50. I heard that tightly regulated screens to be a good thing. I still have to get the zeners. On one schematic it showed a 10W zener. Might be hard to find that. Worst thing about the transistor is mounting the three legs to something other than a circuit board.
So far I have the power transformer (an old but pretty TV transformer that has 9.5A of 6.3V filament that I'll only be using .9A
), the GU-50s, 6N9S, 6N8S, choke, 12V filament transformer, sockets, power cord, RCA connectors, and lots of capacitors and resistors from other builds.
I need output transformers, speaker connectors (I have a post saved from Tom with the ones he likes), and wood for the frame. We have a True Value and Ace hardware here and neither have any hardwood except oak. I've gotten tired of the oak look. Like to get some maple, walnut, cherry or some other hardwood.
At first I wanted to be a ET. Now I are one.
