JimT,
Can you try to put yourself into the WIKI. if there is trouble I can do it.

3W resistors
I noticed that Digikey no longer carries 3W Panasonic (or any other brand) resistors under 10ohms now - has anyone else been able to find a source for the bigger resistors needed to build an F3?
I've been looking at my boards lately but cannot find the ones I need.

I haven't looked in the catalog, but there is most likely a Dale/Vishay at Mouser. That's where I bought all the 3w I needed.
There is also Mills from Michael Percy...

Thanks for the wiki pointer, I'm in.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have time to sort them out so we'll have to get bigger numbers for matching.
Do the power JFETs really have to be matched? There is only one per channel, no?

For some reason, I can't seem to get to the wiki. Never had problems before. Can you put down for 2 power supply boards and 2 F3 pcbs?
Thanks

Done, this is enough btw to build two amps, four channels.
Current count is 23 F3s, 13 F4's and about 45 PS boards. Not enough for an order yet.
Re: 3W resistors
The bubble gum blue resistors are still around at Digikey.
They are listed under Metal Film now, which I think has changed.
P0.47W-3BK-ND

1 ohmers.

Happy Soldering.

F3 PCB Boards
Peter, are you still looking for PCB board buyers for the f3 clone ? I'm in for two PS and two amps. I built Nelson's Pearl phono and it works great. I am ready for a new challenge. I have also been charmed by the sound of small tube amps driving Quad ESL's since I sold my M&A TVA-10 in the eighties....is this (finally) the solid state answer ?? Having heard a Yamaha B-1 way back when, color me intrigued.
By the way, where do you work at Boeing ? I'm in engineering in STL in Advanced Systems. I have been trying to get NP some GaN H-FETs from HRL, but no luck yet, (Imagine a F3-type with 200 watts power using one device per channel !). I'm still working it, but the price for the devices might be prohibitive until the Chevy Volt goes into production.
