A2 driving boards (for tube amps)

Hi!
Who wants A2 driver boards (boards only, no components), please PM me. I ordered a batch and expect to have them in 1 week. The bottom MOSFET is depletion mode, for a simpler CCS. The top one can be either enhancement, or depletion mode MOSFET. The board contains an anode load
resistor of a previous stage tube, a coupling capacitor, and a source follower loaded on a constant current source. One trimpot sets idle current of the source follower, another one sets bias of the power output tube. For SE amp you need one per channel, for a PP amp, of course, a pair per channel.
They were designed for my Gubernator-71 amp, to drive grids of GK-71 tubes. They would be handy as well driving GM-70 or 300B that would be a waste of precious tubes if to drive in A1 only.

I received boards, packed and shipped them. Based on what I paid for shipment, you can get 4 boards including shipment worldwide for $10 total in an envelope. For more boards worldwide shipment would cost $14.

Also, I can share some power supply boards, $1 each + $4 shipment of 1 or 2, more would not fit into an envelope. The board contain places for 2 dectifier diodes, 3 filter caps (external choke, and 1 resistor on the board), plus a MOSFET for a voltage regulator, with an external VR tube. Also, Shottky rectifier can be mounted with up to 4 filter caps for a filament DC, like 8.4V for compactrons from 2x6.3V.

All my boards are designed to fit under 1U chassis.

I wanted to say a thank you to wavebourn for the driver boards. They are a very compact, taking up much less space then my previous set up. Plus the price is very fair.

Cheers
Evan
