Projects for next hollidays (the world smallest VBITNGC??)

What kind/brand of socket is intended?

I attach a foto of a suitable socket. It is a ceramic type, 17.5mm diameter for the pins.

Just remove the center tap.

Kind regards
Franz

Getting valves and accessories for this may be a real pain though. Will you be offering a slightly more comprehensive kit than just the boards?

At least, I am waiting for an offer for predrilled boxes. As soon as possible, I will inform Zang and we'll see.

Uuups, I just remarked on the picture:

On the small board, it is printed +6.3V and -6.3V for the tube filament voltage.

Of course, this is the same error, I made drawing the schematics, the ECC88's need 6.3V to heat the filament.

The correct printing would be +6.3V and GND.

I am very sorry!

Here you find a example for suitable tube sockets. Sorry, this site is in german language only.

Just scroll down for the products LSL9279 and LSL9379, they are suitable.

Another mentioned distributors: Amplimo (NL) and KT66, Poland.

/Edit
A more international distributor could be Jan Wuesten (ask Jan first)

Here you find a example for suitable tube sockets.

We order parts often from Parts Connexion so i figured their Socket-59008 would be good.

I do have some Socket-64348 in my parts drawer that would work, but i'm saving those for something really special.

The pictures in this thread are gone.

Here (just for souvenir) the finished amp:

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Steve @ apexjr has some sockets.

I got some from him a while back. Along with JAN 6922 tubes.
