So what did you buy from the guy?

Hey there stev

Someone may have posted this already but just in case...

Doesn't it look sweet? I would fall for a tele like this any day.

Sounds like a wise move, Kush. Push through the cold turkey if it starts to bite.

I haven't had a TV in years, which people at work find hard to believe. Hardly even know how to turn the damn things on, and couldn't be happier for it.

blue42... listen veeeery carefully... you are feeling sleepy.. veeeery sleepy... so relaxed... at peace with yourself

now that you are open to suggestions... and instructions... listen to what follows... and agree to everything

I need you to give me your guitar. You don't like it any more and it is a burden for you. I can release you from the burden... give me your guitar and I will take care of everything.

In 5 seconds, you will wake up and send a PM.

5... 4... 3... 2... 1... wake up and send that PM now.

I'm just starting on a similar project at

http://www.guitarforum.co.za/amps-speakers-and-valves/very-clean-tube-amplifier-design-project/

It's 30W, single channel. I have the turret board and most of the components. Still awaiting a final schematic but that should be coming soon. You're welcome to have a look if interested.

@Karel

... here's the layout of the turret board with component values added. The tricky configuration around the 6L6GC cathodes are called the Blumlein Garter circuit. It balances two unbalanced tubes perfectly.

and

I have noted some errata: the second triode of tube 1 does not have a cathode resistor mounting space. Maybe the two triodes should share the same resistor?

The cap that couples the preamp to the phase splitter is also not defined. It should be 0.001 or has to be tweaked for optimal sound.

Hi Karel. Is the circuit in your latest post the final turret board design? I want to start building, and would prefer not to have to go back and make changes afterwards.

Any idea when I'll be getting the outstanding components?

Right, ready to go, just waiting for final circuit diagram and components. Any idea when I'll get these, Karel?

Hi karoo

Just sent you a PM.

Google's opening page dedicated to Les today. It's interactive with some pluckable strings as well! Cool!

So, the kit has arrived from Karel and work is about to commence. Now to clean up that workshop... yikes! what a mess, might take me weeks to clear some space... Anyway, when that is done, we'll start with wiring up the turret board. Watch this space for photos.

I heard my name on the wind, echoing through the valleys...

Ahem, back to reality.

What about the Yamaha AW16G Audio Workstation posted at http://www.guitarforum.co.za/classifieds/here-goes!!!/

Don't think it has USB but it might be suitable for your purposes...
