Make it part of the styling to use a curved or bumped-out lid, and then you can fit the hamburgers under there too.
Keen eye. I just discovered it. Guess I should repair that. And I am fresh out of kapton tape. I will use a silicone frying pan pad as protection in the future. Heat resistant and durable. What else can I repair it with?
The Sedlbauer comes with a built in plastic hole where I can just fasten a screw and a spacer. I will get a strong L-shaped piece of metal, the one I have bends to the sheer weight of that thing.
The Jantzen cross coils I will use in the CLC is made up of copper foils. I got the advice not to use it as a choke, because this type of coil may have unwanted capacitance, which regular coil does not have. Anyone heard about this? I would like to use it as it is 2.7mH and only 0.45 ohm and will hopefully not get hot and not have problems with saturation.

Okay, the protection plastic on a Sedlbauer is about as heatresistant transpaent package tape. So I will repair with package tape.
I just got a reply from Erse audio and their similar Foil Q and he says: "Yes we have many clients using our foil Q in power supplies as a choke." Although I would have been really surprised if he said "No! Don't buy our product!"

Just wondering if these https://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/steel-laminate-15-awg/steel-laminate-3.3-mh-15-awg-inductors/ would work. They are relatively cheap.
It's not on his website but I believe Steve at ApexJr still has laminate core inductors for cheap: 9mH (~0R6 DCR, 19AWG) for $4.50. Give him a ring!

3.3mH 0.185 ohm with coil vs jantzen crosscoil 2.7mH 0.45 ohm. I think I will try the foil coil.I read that the prefferable choke for a tube amp is 5-10mH, together with a 50-100uf cap. But that is probably something different than what what we are talking about.

This is what Mr Nelson uses himself in the XA 160 amps

Wow, great info about the XA 160 amps. So with a 2.7mH foil coil air core you get approx. the same DCR as a 10mH cored coil (with a pedigree). I am thinking I should have a coil shootout in the near future.
But. I was given the recommendation by someone that I should have equal capacitance on both sides of the coil, and Nelson Pass uses 6 large capacitors. I haven't seen the schematic, but maybe its a CLCLC??
