silicone it is, we in the third world country think of ways and means to re purpose materials...😀
Are those cut down spark plug boots? Nice!

Its from the tops of the HT suction cups from CRT's.
try it and you will never have to replace the tips for a long long time.....you only have to replace the silicones....
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
One ,,new,,amp for every day,Toshiba modified uith 2 xECC 83 and 2 x PE 06/40 N
(807) SE config. 2 x 15 W excelent sound
Nice Hybridization, the amp with Vumeters was a technics? Please say how you got 15 Watt from one SE 807😱. Is class A2, can you show us the schematic?
Beautiful look!

Nice idea! I know how get some UN-meltables tubes for my un-solderer machines that's broke. AJT you are a Genius.

The circuit shows the 807's triode connected.
Must be a miracle; 15 watts triode connected more like 1.5 watts. Or have I misread the circuit?

Some more tubes...I managed to place the glassware in place yesterday.
The cd transport is nearly ready for its rebuilt electronics.

Just out of curiosity, what is the purpose of these tubes on a CD transport? Is even hasn't a DAC on it, right?
This forum is only for admire the gallery. Some of us have scientific decisions, another some of us, redundant or massive. There are another like me, criticise colours and forms. But formerly nobody would judge anything.

I ran out of tip savers for my de-soldering tool and had to buy another bag of the things. 100 of them for the price of a tip that will last about the same amount of time as just one tip saver😀

Valid question (since I am probably the only one doing it) it is for the rectification of the cd transport chip psu. 😉
No this is cd transport only.

Please excuse my lack of hi-end audio knowledge, but what purpose does a "CD Transport" serve?

Hi Erik
What are you using to seal the copper with to help reduce tarnishing .

What are those? Pieces of silicone tubing?
I haven't even owned a solder sucker for probably 20+ years. I just buy lots of desolder braid of various sizes 😀

It's basically the CD version of a turntable. It spins and reads the disk, but that's it. It spews the digital information to an external DAC (the CD version of a phono preamp 😉) where the digital info is actually converted to audio.

That's actually pretty interesting, I almost want to make one, but considering I only have about 5 CD's these days, it'd be sort of useless.
