Hello just a quick update
As I have started to put the valve monoblock into a rack case .. what do you all think ? the top panel that will go on the case is fully vented .
enjoy the pictures .... let me know your thoughts ..🙂

Hello samb .. that is a very nice kind comment, many thanks really appreciate it
This project did take some time, and I nearly lost interest in it, but I am very glad with the finsihed result .. glad I completed it now. This is one of 2 (as both are mono blocks)
It does take many hours of experimenting and manhours to get to the finished result, but again many thanks for the kind comments .. most welcome

Hello Artosalo
The basic case comes from hifi2000 webshop. I then laser engrave the front panel to my own design. Then the case feet are handmade by me and then chrome plated ?(very heavy duty feet) I make these on my lathe.
I then get a aluminium plate laser cut to form the bottom chassis plate which mounts all the circuit boards and components.
Then I just make the amplifier by hand ...... 🙂

Hello
Sorry for the delay .. I added a full on/off switch, and use the small toggle switch for standby etc & pre heat for the valves
The plastic blocks you see are normally open contact switch blocks for the power on/off switch. I also use a snubber capacitor across the live contact to stop arcs and mains borne spikes etc
regards
