It doesn't have any tubes in it, but it switches my tube amplifiers and speakers, and I can't find an area to share it...

6x4 speaker switch because I ran out of room on the old 4x2 I built.

Hammond chassis, relay switching, Nixie indication, touch power...

At this point, I have a question: How do u safely switch between tube amps, what about output load?

Most of my designs (the triode connected ones) don't mind being switched in and out. I wouldn't do this with any old tube amp though. Usually I turn one off before switching to another one, but I have room inside the switch to have dummy load resistors attached when the speakers aren't. They'll be added in when I receive the resistors.

My dad turns 74 this week... I built this for him :)

Total cost about 300$ CAD.

~10WPC 14Hz-50kHz

12SN7 front end, 6F12P VA/PI, 6P43P output, triode connected, Eff Ra-a ~3k@8R using interleaved Triad VPT12-2080 as the OPT.
