The Amp Garage

The layout in this thread has been -extremely- helpful to me. The PS caps are listed as 22/47 and should be 20/40, but most other things are accurate.

Jeph,

Thanks so much for sharing the pic and feedback! It's not a "classic" Trainwreck, but if it doesn't affect the tone or responsiveness of the original design, I'm all for sensible mods too.

I could post my practical app bias q's elsewhere if there are no takers.

Thanks all,

Dave

Jeph's post is the one that prompted me to ask about running off into "rural" chasis real estate. Did it work? How were the runs lead dressed to minimize probs? On the other hand, Elcabong put his test points (and bias pot?) right next to the power tubes on the chasis. How did that work out? Just lo...

Has anyone completed an Express with an external bias pot (thru top of chasis) with test points too? How did you implement it wrt method (x ohm resistors at y socket points etc,) and locations? The real estate around the Francesca bias pot is pretty crowded, and don't know if running everything off ...

I think it's a translator thingie, such as "All your base are belong to us".

Ken, you want a schematic of Ginger?

I haven't built one yet, but going by Francesca, there are a couple of more diff's. It doesn't show the 3 diodes to ground from each of the power tubes (pin 3). Also, the "bias" should be connected to the junction of the 15k and 47k resistors, and not to the bias pot itself. What I don't know, from ...

Omar,

Sent you a PM, would like a copy. Not sure if you got it tho (doesn't show up in my sent box?)

Thanks,

Dave

Thanks for the reply. I hadn't thought about hardware as a gap filler, but you're right. Am trying to get a pre-drilled chasis so I have to only do unplanned drilling/punching (except probably the transformers). I know that Omar sent Nik (Ceriatone) a drawing, but it was for a slightly smaller chasi...

Has anyone ordered/received an express chasis recently? Did a search and found quite a bit of good info, with Ceriatone one of the more interesting suppliers. Does anyone have a listing of the exact holes for each component? The files section has a great drill guide, but not hole sizes. Most I can f...

Dana,

Congrats on the Liverpool, it looks great! That's cool that it is a more "rounded" amp.

A little too late for Bunny, eh? Maybe you can auction off the naming rights on ebay, LOL.

I've had the same problem with a different twist. Open up one of the clips and all I get is video, no audio. Tapping his foot in time ;) Upon opening the clip, WMP accesses the internet and tries to connect to the codec server. Get a quick "download error" and then procedes on to play the video only...

Did the Mallory brand change hands or production facilities? This caused me confusion a couple weeks ago; caps were called CD, but spec sheets were Mallory.

I'm in Fairfax myself, but not doing a wreck build yet (scoping it out right now, esp. thru this board;)

Have some interesting amps tho.

Need to revive this one myself. I got some of the teflon-coated silver tinned solid core from Apex Jr, and am having a hard time stripping it.

Is there a particular brand that anyone can recommend for a good teflon stripper (preferably autostripping)? RS and Home Depot stock don't cut it.

Which spice modeler do you use? I've started back up using Tina.
