its starts to unfold.

so the parts arrived  yesterday. and i started to work o it right away, first things first a parts count.

afterwards i began to fill in the turret board with all the capacitors and resistors.

and then i called it quits for the night.

today i woke up and fitted the tube sockets. and set in al the controls.. layed in the turret board. and now i just have to make final connections, and hopefully this sucker willl fire up right away.

hopefully if it all goes well i'll get to spend the rest of my vacation tweaking this bad boy.

waiting.

i have a shipment of parts for my amp project coming today, so i'm sitting in my office waiting for fedex to show up with two huge boxes for me.

the plan is to finish this amp and then order enough parts to build at least two more.

problem with this hobby is the cost.

its roughly $800- $1000 just for parts.  but... fun as hell..

this amped is planned to be a classic tweed deluxe clone, like the ones neil young uses. although this one will have a few added features. double the out put power. and a switch implemented between the two pairs of power tubes that will shut down half of the stacks for half the power.

i'll just keep waiting for fed ex.

 

things i have wanted to do for a long time

for a long while now i have wanted to build a tube amplifier, so i have ordered all the necessary parts and will give this a go. i have read a tremendous amount and  hope that this will go smoothly.

i wanted to keep track of things.

i wanted to keep track of things,
because my room is messy.
i misplace a lot of things,
so now i will archive them.
