hehe - I've realized from where my confusion 🙁 Silly me :smash:

Ofcourse - I should be more careful with datasheets where transistor is drawn 3 views :angel: (ground plan, side view, ...)
Geee, feel sooooo stupid :smash: :cannotbe: right now :bawling:


I always draw notes on paper in my usuall habit-legs to me,face down,if necessary.

hehe-I made mistakes more than once ,before I make that habit

Stabist, you are not alone on that one😀 Yes the BC's have different pinout than those on Russ's board.
Happy building.

Steen🙂

Hehe - nice to hear I'm not alone in it 😉 😎

Gee ... I've done a p2p placement of components for stereo NS10 circuitry (but not solder it yet) - man - it's small 😎 Must build similar sized PSU too 😎

hehe - the mistake I made was - I've done notes and sketches of placement of components - from top view (and marked legs) - and then opened Philips's datasheet - where ofcourse legs are marked as looking it from bottom; then opened another datasheet (with 3D drawing of transistor) - and ofcourse now I had "different markings" hehe :smash: :smash: hehe ... nice school for next time :angel:

Are you going for the shunt reg? I hope you are indeed, just to see if it works for somebody else. (I had a little trouble with buzz as you remember if you read the whole thread:xeye: ) You can keep a shunt reg pretty small as you can see on the pics I posted earlier. The sound of it is just great🙂

just half
not tried yet
series reg part (left part from dotted line) shared between channels
317 CCS and shunt for each channel on chared pcb (reg+audio)

edit- 50mA per stage

lalalalalala........
I don't have buzzzzzzzz
lalalalalala.......

hehe
you can't

Hehe - do you wanna bet :devilr: 😎 😉

I'll try it out with shunt reg probably in next version/attempt - because right now what I have at hand is a bunch of LM317/337 ...

Which schematic did you use for your regulator?

Hmm - as a start I wanted to build similar version as your series reg part (double series regulator) with additional power resistors at the output to have constant load ...
but now - this seems tempty 🙂 (but I'll have to buy some parts ...)


Btw - trimer - if decided not to use it - do I just simply connect emittor of Q1 directly to -V?

I used this except I didnt use darlingtons (yet) I used BD139/BD140, and didnt use the diodes at the output. I tried with more capacitance also (2200uf's) and some other variations.

If Choky's doesnt buzz, maybe its my perfboard thats bad😀
I better get some new ones😀

Here is a pic:

Did you calculate the resistor values for the 431 device? I am also curious how you would connect that device to the negative side.

Steen🙂

didn't calculated yet resistors

connecting?
like zenner-
exactly the same,just final resistor chaaaaaaaange place

:Popworm: :wave2: :crazy: :emoticon: :headbash: :headbash: :joker:

tip for steen:
minus is always minus
plus is always plus

what you'll call ground
that's your choice
if you are good at it
components will agree with your choice
:devilr:

mods!
where's mine "reinventing the wheel" smiley??
 
connecting?
I would like to see a working schematic😉 I did connect the 431 as you say is the obvious way, but but but.......
Well, I want to discuss the main supply a little more. I just went through some boxes of (big surprise!!) electronic stuff and found this. Take a look at the pic. Isnt that a mains filter of some sort?
Could I try that in front of the trafo? Ofcourse I could try, I know that😀 But would it be reasonable?? Any chance it would cancel out the darn buzz??🙂

Here is another from the rearside. As you can see on the tracks, it was made for heavy duty🙂 I would appreciate it if someone could tune in on this.

Steen🙂

bingo!

nice one
side with three legs- one is line,middle is ground,other side is neutral (in my country line and neutral are interchangeable,meaning that wall outlets and device plugs are not .....hm...phased-if that is proper word.

other side-with two legs -is output to load ;one line,other neutral

try it,immediately

tomorrow I'll try to fiddle with negative 431 and post
in a meantime ,one example
