GB for Baby Huey PCB

[Francois G]

Eric,

Yes, silkscreen both sides of the PCB might be useful, but as is Marc and Prasi’s PCB is not a problem. Simply place all the tube sockets, small resistors, semiconductors, etc on top (where you have the silkscreen) and the few large caps under the PCB (observing polarity, of course). The small parts are small enough to fit easily between the top plate and the PCB, attached with suitable stand-off spacers. The tubes are sticking through holes in the top plate. See for example Bas’ nice thread on how he built it:

Hi Prasi

I’m wondering why the tubes sockets are on the wrong side of the PCB...this is bad but I know it’s not you that work on the original PCB.
I bought 4 of these EL84 PCBs not knowing about this...I just found out...that’s a shame.

Picture shown below is an example on how it should be, the pin number must be clockwise.

You can solder other parts on other side.

Hello Ranko,
here baby huey mk2 and its psu for your reference.

Nice work Prasi.

To make it easier to build I would add 5 small holes in the pcb. One in the Center of each tube and the 2 others where the screw of each of the trim pots is located. I’m aware you provided a illustration showing the dimensions but it’s much easier to know exactly where to punch the openings when there’s holes in the PCB.

Just an idea,
Eric

hello,

I am very interested in two el34 PCBs but I don't know how to buy them....

Thanks in advance for your answer,

Hi Geekitus,
I no longer have any Baby Huey PCB in stock.
you may be able to get them from some members here if they no longer require/ have excess PCBs.
regards
prasi

I still have some early version of BH EL34 pcb with PSU onboard.

Greetings my friends !

Please, can I still buy PCBs somewhere?

Is it possible to get a manufacturing substrate in o format which PCB manufacturers accept ?

 

[RomanSRV]

Hello. Since no one has a PCB for Baby Huey anymore, could you please send me the basic graphic documentation for future production?

The current manufacturing companies require graphic layers in vectors and preferably for PCB production in format for GERBER RS274x and for Excelon 2:4 hole drilling

Alternatively, what format did you use when you ordered the PCB production.

Thank you for your quick reply.

The Gerbers for this version of BH were never released on this forum.

Please consider me interested in a stereo set for BHEL84, if and when they head towards another round.

Please consider me interested in a stereo set for BHEL84, if and when they head towards another round.

PM me, I've a full set of boards with components, optimized transformers and tubes that I can sell.

 

[RomanSRV]

I would be interested, is it still valid?

 

[jazzzman]

What is the status of the latest GB? Is there an estimated price yet? How may boards are involved for a stereo version? Dimensions?
Thanks.

 

[zintolo]

I think I still have some el34 pcbs with power supply onboard. I should also have a full kit for el34 and one for el84 including transformers and populated pcb. If interested PM me.

Does anyone have any EL34 boards for a stereo set left? I’d love a set!
