That's "205 tubes" as in type "205-D", I guess 😉

See here:
205D, Tube 205D; Röhre 205D ID19733, Triode, vacuum

i see. shows my level of tube knowlage! cool

Actually I'm designing a VERY strange apparatus with tubes , and it is working, although I may fine tune it. When finished, perhaps I post it here.

Here is two samples of it. Imagine.

Class-D ...? (just a thought looking at those interesting inductors that you have)

The TJ/Fullmusic-205D tubes I had bought 8 or 9 years ago bias up quite a bit differently than what the plate curves in that link portray. They seem to match the curves published for the 10 more so than they do for the WE 205D.

I intend to use the 205D replica from Sophia Electric, hoping that they are closer to the originals. Has anyone tried them for rectification?

This is my new Tube preamplifier .
3 tubes ( two PCF200 and one EF183 ) on each channel , -3dB at 400KHz , gain 19.4dB .

Preamp: 2x 6CG7 and EZ80
Poweramp: 2x 6N6P and 4x 12E1

That is fantastic work! Very clean wiring layout.

I'm pretty proud of the wiring 🙂 Took around 10 amplifiers as practice but it is getting better every time.

Must whole heartily agree on the wiring . By the way what power supply connector did you use? 😱

Sevenup2278: excellent work, neat as.

Connector is an old military multipin connector, used for tube equipment in the old days 🙂

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.🙂

That has got be one of the best looking amps I've ever seen, be it diy or production model. Great design

My tube set up ( all second hand stuff)

I'm not a very good hobbyist , but I buy and arrange my stuff by myself, all second hand..

Chocolaty amp

Another piece of junk.

You must have had a hickup... 🙂

It's art! A slight blur creates an aura of mystique. I use it all the time, because it also hides the imperfections of my chassis & finish work!

That pic makes me want to get my astigmatism checked again. I can't tell if it's a wooden chassis with brown-painted bell covers or if it has a faux rust finish throughout.

Haha, you got me. No flash, that sucker is unforgiving. Long exposure and no tripod. Never crossed my mind to take a good picture BTW. The background is awful.

faux rust finish throughout.

Yeah, I'm into that. Actually, it's oil paint on a metal chassis. There's some red too... a touch here and there. The finish looks great, the amp is junk though.

* Another example how to maximize distortion to make things look good.

 

[mhouston]

Cassiel: The rust finish is interesting, the blurry images don't do much. A clear image would be nice.

 

[Cassiel]

Well, it's a basement so not much light and, as I said before, the flash from this camera is no good. Anyway, here's something slightly better. Needless to say the ring of diamonds is a joke, actually the whole amp is a bit of a joke. My serious amps are upstairs.

this a 6AV5 push-pull power amp pentode output, G2 regulation....for livening up shortly....
