The Red Light District - another PP EL84 amp

Hmm. The only other thing I've found so far for the RLD is the LED board. I'll keep looking though, I'm sure it's around here somewhere.

Hey Pinkmouse,

When you zoom out the image it grows to about 3 1/8 x 6 1/4. Is that the actual size for the board? Since I'm going to Paint this board to etch it I can just photocopy it. I'm not familiar with the other types of files, except maybe the Acrobat PDF.

what i do with my amp build is to wire up the secondary side first......the plate leads are soldered lightly to tube pins....

there is a 50-50 chance you'd get it at first go....so that in case of motorboating, i simply reverse the plate leads, dressing it up and cutting for final soldering to tube pins....

Yesterday I ran some diagnostics with oscilloscope. Phase is ok, grounded terminals. No motorboating. Yes! So feedback connected - checked. Found one cathode resistor not well soldered! The other channel connected. Now it works great. I rused twisted wires instead of shielded wires I had used before. Hum is 0.4 mV left channel, 1.5 mV right one.
