My DIY TUBE Projects
« on: Jan 12, 2012 at 09:29 AM »
My first DIY:  the Single Ended 6BM8/ECL82 Amp in Pentode mode... I already made 3 sets, 1 for me, 1 for Benjie and 1 for Edrel (the source of my Power and Output Transformers, and pretty much everything to build my projects).


Second in pattern of the famous Decware Zen, The Single Ended EL84,  I made this for Edrel and another for Parasound, a chasis upgrade, re-wiring, add input level and change tube sockets...



Third, the SE KT88 for my brother... Still looking for a nice volume knob...



and fourth, the SE 6V6GT using an upgraded Zen Circuit...



I also made 2 Pre-amps, 12AX7 in SRPP.. still looking for alternative Chasis...

Will soon start with a new amp or Pre-amp...

Hi Stick,
Congrat on your new projects.

Hopefully we can hear them sing. Another audi session together with Dana and Eric? hehehe

Are you using the same humongous BS Celestion and Philips FR set-up?

well well..looks like i am missing something today. just saw this thread. finally found someone who can team up with my guy benjie in building those sleeping parts. we have been neighbors for quite a while and it was only recently that stick found out that we are into transformers and well..tubes :D :D

in such a short period, 7 amps..beat that!

i have many of those 6V6 ST bottles by penta laboratories. APC guys, interested? very cheap...!

tommorow i will have a revered senior diyer paying me a visit...guess who!

ronald if you are interested with those ST bottle 6V6s reserve now as these will not last any longer...

pede rin, instead of painting (permanent), dressed it with a big diameter black shrinkable tube.
in case magbago isip, madali tanggalin.
