Valve Base

Darren:
Saftey was the main criteria, looks second.

Actually the method of fixing is not terribly important, just so long as it stays put.


TBH H&H would still have a fit and suggest it all goes behind bars. But then I'm not selling it so they can......."place own words here"....... :lol:

The valve gets a bit hot in use, around 200 degC, but that is unlikely to kill you. Keep you nice and toasty though, esp as there are two of them..... :D

Brass_Machine:
I am dying to see this finished!

Darren:
HI Eric,

Thanks for the encouragement.
Though this is only one part of a whole amp and is quite a big project. Not many people build amps of this caliber.

I believe I'm prob the third to do so, one other chap in the states and another in the UK. Though I think we all started before learning of each other.
There may be others now as I've not really been looking since I started this amp three years ago.

I'll have to take some other pictures of what's involved in making these valves work, it all takes up quite some room.... :dremel:

Darren:
This is the only commercial avail 833 valve amplifier....

Sorta explains why I'm building my own, TBH I would anyway even if I could afford this one...which I can't of course.... :(

Darren:
Tim asked for a pic of my valve amps,

Well this is only one in working progress, up and running in this pic though.... :ddb:

Rather than start a new thread I've bumped this one.

Tim go to the start of this thread to see some pictures and details.... :thumbup:

I'll take some more of other amps for you...
