have you ever heard of "more money than brains"?


I wasn't just talking about the gear. I included your use of it.

Anyway, the moderators of course have every right and all the tools to nuke this reply, if they think of it as inappropriate, but anyway here we go: a guy by the name of Tom Christiansen has a website with this url: - http://www.neurochrome.com/audio - . He is a hobbyist with a real life job that provides his income. He has a pcb for sale for filament supplies that can handle the voltage / current requirements in the limited space that is available in a Stereomour chassis. You would still have to do the rectification, but that isn't terribly difficult. I have used his regulators with excellent results.

Disclaimer: I have no commercial interest at all in anything included in this message. I don't know Mr. Christiansen except through a few emails exchanged between us.

If you've been happy with those regulators then they are fine - it's a solid design. But you can't feed them from the available windings on the PT-6 power transformer, you'll need another power transformer as well as the rectifier and filter.

Looking over these kits was a detour for me.  Although I really do want to make a badass HP Amp.

First I have to finish turning this:

That site is great.
I think it will help me a lot with my current project.
Thanks

I swear it looks like someone threw up wire pieces onto the tube sockets.  I would hate to troubleshoot that tester.

Since you're an Old Fart, you no doubt remember buying "wooden" 3PDT switches at the local hardware store.

With all due respect, the subject matter is very cool, but it is drifting a bit from the subject matter of this sub-forum. Sorry to sound like a dick, but these threads often turn out to be quite valuable to other builders down the road, and it's easier for them to navigate the thread if it stays on topic. Can we maybe carry the tube tester stuff over into the general forum?
