Hi guys, I'm keen to start making the odd guitar amplifier, small stuff, 5 watt type. Using one 6v6 and one 12ax7. (and maybe a rectifier valve). What are the best places to get these things? I know they're pricey wherever I go, and I searched the forums a little (with no luck), so any advice...

Awesome, thanks so much for the help, feeling much more confident now. I found a guy up at unversity who's really into old valve radios (most definitely on this forum somewhere I would guess) who can help me out, he's got a variac, and oscillating transformer and whatnot so I don't kill myself :D

family_dog, okay, awesome, so, unfortunately I cut the mains wire by about 2 cm already, but it has exactly that, a little strand that was wrapped around the mains wires all the way along, how should I connect this up though? because I have 3 connections, the small resistive wire, and the two...

Hey guys, Hardly ever come on here anymore, but figured this is really where I should start. So I live at home, and my mom bought this little radio at some or other second hand/charity shop for next to nothing (I think 30 rands?). She (obviously) knows I'm studying mechatronic engineering, so...

I found this in a whole lot of records an older friend was throwing out, I kept it for the sake humour, "Twist Tyd" die van wyk broers. (I think they have mini synthesizers on their guitars).

I'm young, I know, but there were some AMAZING dos box games my dad introduced me to back in the day, anyone know "dink smallwood"? (pure brilliance) and "Commander Keen". Those were the only computer games I ever played until the internet got interesting, and I went to the ways of my...

Awesome idea, if I had a car and the money I would do the same thing, try and get the best sound into a car and drive around feeling amazing all the time. I read a popular mechanics article quite a while back where they installed 150+ speakers all around a car in order to get perfect sound...

Thanks again Waterhound, I'll PM him and check stuff out :)

Waterhound, that's the one, thanks, I agree, very prettydon't have the matching speakers unfortunately, I'll keep this thread updated on any progress I make. B_unit, Unfortunately I'm located in cape town. I know Yebo electronics sell components, but I'm not sure if that's what I need...

sweet, thanks guys, I'll give them calls and see how they can help :)

Hi guys, I have some tannoy 605's, very pretty hexagonal-ish design. anyways, just one woofer is distorting a lot. both tweeters and the other woofer are all fine. Must I just throw it away? the foam seems alright so I think it's something on the inside. Bought second hand, previous owner said...

Hey guys, pretty new to forum. I have a really old Goodmans maxamp 30. Not sure if it's technically vintage(made in the 60's?), but I'm 18, so most stuff is vintage compared to my age anyways. It runs fine, but it's quite fuzzy and generally needs some work, where do I start? most people seem...

Hey guys, I'm pretty new, and this thread says introduction, but previous posts say there is a different intro thread? whatever, I'll start here. hopefully someone is kind enough to tell me where to go. My name in really Ben, I've been browsing avforums classifieds for too long in search of...
