1st off, thanks!
Seriously, this would not be possible without Mr. Hoffman's generosity and the gang.
>> how did you make that tube chart?
I found a few on the net and I think Steve was nice enough to share his with me way back.
Then I went into Fireworks (like Photoshop) and decided to make my own to get really clean hi rez to manipulate.
>>The fourth tube sections grid leak resistor is connected to the third tubes cathode. What does this do?
Chip covered it, thank goodness!
I kind of get the concept but not skilled technically enough to explain it as eloquently as he did!
>>Madison, can you post voltages? Especially the 3rd stage cathode & plate, and cathode and grid of 4th stage?
No time to.It's gone.
Dumb, I know all about it.
>> is your feedback resistor really 1.5K, not 15K?
1.5K was a happy medium for me
YMMV.
>>how did you come up with 56K for the power tube's grid return resistor?
Circuit didn't like going above that level.
>>meet the customer's needs/wants?
Me thinks so.No news is good news round these parts.
>>Any chance we could see the guts?
This thing went though a bunch of changes.Flat out odd bizarre layout in some places.
But, it sounded great!(for that sort of sound)
It was also dead quiet.
I have enough stuff laying around,I think I will make a 6v6 head for myself.
That one will be perfect and I'll share.
>>explain how the chassis is mounted?
I rolled my own chassis on this one.(I don't recommend it but I did it for kicks).
The front, bottom, and,rear 1 piece of aluminum bent to a "U".
The sides are wood.
The 4 cab cleats support the underside of the chassis.
The speaker baffle has a lip to keep the chassis from falling out the front.
The rear panel is about 1/2 inch thick and the top 2 screws thread into the chassis.
The tolerances are tight!
It's a lot of work.
I''d suggest chassis straps if you are in a hurry and plan REALLY well where to drill.
Miller time.
Peace all.
