I started this project to learn more about valve amps and because this is a cheap amp to build. The valves were gifts from friends. the Output transfromer was R123 each form RS ( now R182 excl) and the rest of the components were less than R70 excluding the power transformer. I can't recall what...

47 ohm is much easier to get. even at communica. The function of this pot is to balance the bias of the valves so the resistance of the pot is not crucial it should just be as small as possible. I am finishing the second channel of my amp now. Regarding the OPT. I don't have the right bobbin...

I have the design, Core and bobbin for the prototype. Just need to get the correct wire. IS the winding machine working yet?

Hi all I just built a proto 3 W version of this using a OT from RS. It very simple and sounds pretty descent. I would love to get hold of a set of 25W Otes. Let me look at my diagrams and consult with a friend or two and I will get back to you. I know someone that did some work on OT designs. I...

By the way. What happend to the people that won the Mr valve prizes. I spoke to them and they did not hear from you any one of you. If you don't want to use it send it my way :D

I played Track #11 on my "Power ballads" compelation. I love this track. It is one of my favourites. The band is "Mr. Big" and Track is "to be with you" You will find the video on you tube. If its the track you are looking for PM me. I will find out from Greg if I could "borrow" their demo...

Hi you all. I would like to Thank Andrew for the article in AV SA feb issue. Thanks again to everyone that contributed to make the day a success. About the Compelation CD. ?? The music used was a commercial compelation disk (One I had in my car), Cheskey ultimate demo disk and a disk that I...

Sjoe luckily my name is spelled Dewald.  ;D Attie the same rules apply for the cans. Instead of adjusting the spray gun you now need to change the distance form the surface and the speed of your hand movements. The rest is still the same. Avoid the graffiti stroke. You need to do steady long...

Hi Attie that's looking good. At the showcase you asked me about painting gloss black. When spraying it on with a spray gun the trick is to spray a wet layer of minimum thickness. And then repeat that a few times. In other words adjust the spray gun to spray a fine mist and then apply it with a...

Working on it .. I will post a list with the winners soon.

I am working on the list. The problem being that some of the quests wanted subscriptions and I don't have contact info for them. I hope to get it done before the end of the week, then I will give that info to Andrew.

So I have to get moving :o. I will make some time this weekend. I will then send it to Joel. Thanks Dewald

Here Cirr is trying to hide behind Willie.. I can still see you....

We did discuss it briefly, I will write the facts and add photos and then Joel will do a first edit and add some flair. So it will be a joint venture. When is the deadline for the article and in which issue will it be published? I am working on the list for the subs and will email that to you...
