Maybe ? :shock: It is good that we can make fun of each others differences,even geographical location,way of speaking etc. But in the world today so much strife,and conflict is because people are so intolerant to the ways and views of others. Sad innit ! Need to get cutting,drilling,filing,bleeding ...

Peace Man !

We are all children of the universe.

Is there any problems with using a bigger wattage resistor than specified ?

As an example-I was looking in the spares box for a 100K grid leak resistor and found a packet of 100K 5W power oxide resistors.

I might try this idea in the new case first, using the C3g front end.

Would i need a grid leak resistor between the 0.22uf coupling cap and the two 832a grids ? If so what value ?

You be careful young man !

Try one of these ?

Quite so, that's why it was a tentative hypotheses-sis-sis-sis


So turns out the greens ARE connected together!

If we learn by our mistakes then I must be bloody brilliant !

I am bidding on some heatsinks on e-bay.

I will not want more than 4 for my project so if anyone else wants some let me know.

I have not decided my "max" bid yet.

Thanks Nick !! Connecting 240V to Black 1 + Black 2 I get two 376V secondaries and Green 7v (6.3) and Yellow 5.8V (5V),all with no load of course. Now that so much effort has been expended on this matter (thanks DTB as well) i should use it for something myself ! Anyone got a pair of 826 triodes ? ...

Did you realise I had added extra info to my previous post ?

As it happens,I have a few 18v transformers to hand so a small one was connected up as suggested,this gave 20V and see the piccie for the results

Right-here is a pictorial view of the errant transformers wiring ! http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n146/pre65/Transformerwires001.jpg I am coming back to my original opinion that perhaps the Red/Yellow/Green side is the secondary (HT-5V-6.3V ?) but from my previous attempt with powering it up tha...

Assume. ASS U ME Makes an ass of you and me.

The two green wires are not connected to each other,just held together with some heat shrink .

Will soon be sitting down comfortably and trying to suss this out.

There were 5 for sale and I purchased 2,so the seller should still have 3 left !

Joined together as you might for a centre tap ! They were NOT connected anywhere on the amp.

Implies therefore that the two reds on the 'greens' side is the mains input.

!

The two greens are joined together and insulated,so don't go anywhere as such.

I will do the diagram using the new thinking on Monday.
