F1 Help

Just wandering if anyone might have a F1 pcb available?

I think there's some floating around.

I would like to start on an F1J and assume I need appropriate board to do so. Is it possible to strait wire it without killing myself or seeing the magic smoke. I like the simplicity of some of the Peter Daniel amps. I am really looking forward to building my first amp and its nice to know there are people on this forum who tinker with these sort of things.

Point-to-point wiring works great - just takes a little more
patience. Mine always look like train wrecks, but they run...

Spaghetti bowl is perhaps more accurate. Train wrecks tend to larger.

Spaghetti bowls don't run though...

Where should i post a request for boards?

Mr pass you hvae truly made my day. I just read the F2 and F2J articles and i am stumped as to wich of the two i should build for my soon to be built full range speakers. It sounds like the F2 is the same type of amp with a slighlty somother/warmer tube like sound. Is this true or am i missing something? So many difficult choices. I love it!

Hi Buzz,

The WTB ads are usually placed in SWAP MEET.

The PCB layout is in the manual at firstwatt.com . Maybe you should try your hand at board making.

What's up bill. Board making seems much more intimidating to me than this other stuff. I haven't really looked into it. Pcb's are so readily available it doesn't seem worth the trouble, but who knows. My long term plan is to build an F1J or F2J with a fullrange setup like the metronome, and an F5 with a speaker like the one we have been talking about. The F5 is easier to get ones hands on component wise, so I may have to start there and just see how the Metronome's sound with it. I will probably build the Metronome's first because the cost is less.
