Thank you.

Hello Prasi,
With this batch there is now more than 500 Baby Huey PCB produced ! I would not have believed that when I started to make a PCB based on Ian (gingertube) EL84 Baby Huey thread
As I am looking to your picture, I see a little mistake on the serigraph : since this EL84 new version is not based on the old one but on the EL34 proven design, when I modified it to accommodate the 9-pin sockets instead of the octal ones, I have forgotten to change the value of the AC input voltage of 275 V which is too much for EL84 tubes
I would not recommend to exceed 225 - 230 V
Best regards
Marc

Thanks for your interest acccruz,
I think I have your details from CRC PSU GB, so will get in touch with you once I have some extra PCBs. I first need to complete the commitment given to the subscribers.

Hello Marc,
thanks to you (and Ian), 500 PCBs must be an achievement or sure!.
I think the mistake on serigraph is not a big issue and probably best to let it be known on the build thread/ or in the documentation.
I also feel EL84 build thread should be separate from the EL34 build thread so as to avoid confusion for builders. what do you say?

Prasi
Hello Prasi
You have said :"I also feel EL84 build thread should be separate from the EL34 build thread so as to avoid confusion for builders. what do you say?"
I don't think this is necessary because, as you have seen, the EL84 Baby Huey is EXACTLY the same design that the EL34 Baby Huey with only different output tubes and sockets, it is like to make a separate thread for 6V6, 6L6, 6550, KT88, etc... Beside that, there is already an original EL84 thread from "gingertube", therefor too much thread on the same subject could make it more difficult to update information on the project
For ALL technical questions regarding both EL84 and EL34 Baby Huey PCB, please go to EL34 Baby Huey Amplifier where I will try to answer regularly Please don't use PM for technical questions since the subject and the answer can be useful for others, and I don't read PM very often...
I have also enclosed in this thread the last common BOM for these PCB, which was already published yesterday on the EL34 Baby Huey Amplifier forum (you see the problem of duplicating information) !
Merry Christmas and Happy Year, New

Personal reasons
Hi, due to personal reason that have come up unexpectedly I wonder if it is possible to back out of the GB??
I realize that it is very late in the process but I hope and belive that it would be doable.
If possible I want to remain only for a pair of EL34 boards and if you are able to find buyers standing in queue for one pair of EL34 and two pairs of EL84 it would be fantastic.
You can contact me via PM if needed.
