Looks nice, YLS!

My latest idea, an 80W amp, 31LQ6 sweep tube outputs, 6DJ8 LTP driver, 6EA8 preamp/CCS, 13GF7 (may change) screen regulator (125V 60mA max.).

If you look carefully you'll note I'm missing a chassis and two transformers

Thought I'd throw in my brother's 6sn7/300B P-P monoblock that is finally becoming a reality. It was built in partnership with an old friend of his. Chas(my brother) was responsible for the layout and construction of the chassis(machining, veneering,etc.,), while Mike designed and prototyped the circuit.

It's made of polished aluminum plate and veneered mdf, and has hundreds of hours put into the machining, etc., (for all four units). The transformer cover is fiberglass that was laminated over a mold and will have artwork applied.

Not your everyday amp.

With the exception of the back panel, all chassis attachments are blind tapped - hence, no screws to be seen.

Here is a foto of the inside of my latest project. Looks much better on the outside but haven't got a picture of it.

And another picture of one of the best sounding and also the vey cheapest PP penthode amp I have ever build. Had cost me about $75,- and beats every EL34 amp I have ever heard. It's completely build with military dump material wich cost about nothing. I really don't know wat I did but I never managed to build a better sounding penthode amp, even with the same tubes, better transformers and a lot more expensive parts. Just lucky I guess. It's build fully hardwired with ultrashort signal path a'la gainclone (didn't know at the time of building) and the whole thing is getting HOT HOT HOT, very HOT, every part of it, but it still work after 8 years.

Update on the sweep tube amp project... I've started winding the OPT... what am I thinking...

[Sch3mat1c]

A closeup of the winding so far. This layer is 110 of 450T (three layers hidden beneath this) which will be the first of four sections for the primary winding. 10mil of HDPE insulation will go over this before the secondary is wound on top, and so on.
