Hi everyone,
Well sourcing parts for the JE Labs 300b is a real task for this new guy. Some of the values for the resistors I cannot get, so I ordered as close to as possible. I know not to go under value in wattage rating, but does going higher add more resistance? or more out of my wallet?
Oh, I ordered mostly from Angelas and Audio electronics supply.
I got some 99.999 silver wire off eBay for around $2.70 a ft. It's 20awg with teflon shielding included, which I have to install. My question: Will I need thicker awg wire off of the power transformers? or, I should not waste silver on the power side?
Also, still looking for a/c mains inlets and was looking at the IEC computer type ( male) Is this dumb? If not, where can I get some good ones? I can get them for .50 cents. Are these OK? Any Ideas.
Electraprint was working on the trannys, when I called Jack, just to let me know when they are finished, so I can move funds to my account to pay, ( mad money, hidden from WIFE
). Jack's a real nice guy, surre like talking to him. Said if I let the smoke out of the circuit to give him a call. He also is building the power trans with 7.2 volt taps for the 300b filaments that will be rectified to 5 volts, he's sendind the schematic along. Anyone know what the diagram would look like?
Was thinking of splitting the power supply from the amplifiers, but am not sure what type of connectors to use. The military amphenols are sure to handel the 450 volts, but finding the right ones? was suggested to use octal type, ( old fashioned ) connectors, but I was looking for a more NASA type look.
Finding copper plate is a tough go too. Think 3/16" thick will hold the weight of the trannys and other neat parts? Any ideas where to get small quantities of copper plate?
Base will be made out of wood ( walnut ) I have a ton of it and am real good with woodworking. Dovetail joints and all that. Should I line the wood with something? other than a preservative.
Well have to eat and sleep, so once again, to everyone, Thanks a million.
Regards,
