Hi Dieter,

You are right, I didn't put your name, my mistake :confused: But you didn't send your email and post address by PM, your mistake:)

Please do it ASAP, therefor I can still add your name for two boards, that will be the last ones for a batch of 60 if nobody cancel its reservation...

Rgds,
Marc
 
Hello,

A second email has been sent today and normally nobody is missing:)

If you had registered to this GB and you did not receive the mail let me know in case I still forgot someone... When the payments will be done, I will tell you if there is some spare boards if there is request in waiting list ?

I will send Assembly instructions pages & BOM by mail to limit shipment work...

Cheers,
Marc
 
Hi,

It seem that we have received all the payments for the 66 boards, therefor I will give the instruction to EuroCircuits to produce 70 PCB's...

Please rock4016 send me your mail and postal address by PM and i will add your name to the GB since we will have 4 spare boards, even if nobody cancelled :)
This Group Buy was a new experience for me, it was time consuming, but I have been very happy by the friendly mails that I received supporting me and accepting my English not always very academic :D
Now, during the PCB manufacturing, I will make some documentation to help those without experience to build their amplifier easily, but from the comments I have received it seem that most fan of diyaudio have a good knowledge about vacuum tube amplifier!

If you have any question that could interest the Group, please feel free to ask me on the technical forum : EL84 Amp - Baby Huey , I will do my best to give an answer if I can, but others members could be also very helpful :)

Best regards,
Marc
 
Hi rock4016,

If you want two boards, this is possible because i ordered 80 PCB's to give satisfaction to all late requests (at list up to 80 pieces...). Please send your mail and post address by PM.

Hi Laurens,

I am sure that you will like the Baby Huey tube sound, I discovered tube amplifier about 20 years ago after I bought a Jolida JD 502B amplifier to drive very nice Alon Petites speakers :)
Since that time I have built or repaired several tube amplifiers (including an Audio Research D51 and a Golden Tube SI 50) for the fun, but the Baby Huey impress me the most, that's why after I tested the ECL86 / PCL86 version, I made the EL84 version, but the most rewarding one is the EL34 version which can be tested with plenty of octal output tubes.
I will try to assist you in this project as well as I can, I think you have already received the "Building recommendation guide" where you have all information to build, to turn on the amplifier for the first time and to adjust the bias and the differential amplifier. Below you will find two images regarding connexion and adjustment of the amplifier.

Best regards,
Marc
