Smeggy

so I've heard

Woohoo! Box another box that's not a transformer, this is a transformer Packets of bits finally, guts... So it looks like the LEDs, headphone clips, outputs and various plugs and cables need to go in along with wiring up the transfo.

yep, will do. So what is the second set used for (white/brown)?

Nope, nothing registering

I still have much to learn... that phone connector I was talking about before was just the female XLR. I'll have nothing to plug yours into to test until I get a 4 pin socket.

All reading 05.3 @ the 200 Ohm setting the wires are white/white/brown. black/black/blue and the smaller ones are red/yellow black.

Tonight? No wai!! I plan on blowing everything up in the first hour of it's arrival Did the transfos come with a data sheet? I hope so, it will be fun getting back together with the gang, especially if some of the Portland crowd can make it too

Thanks for the heads up Bags at the ready! I saw the ups van about 10 minutes ago on another street so any time now... Nice title change too

x3 those look nice! I'd like to get one of these one day If I can cobble enough cash together.

Thanks, that looks like the one

Cool, I've never seen one in the flesh so I couldn't say what it was.

Ok, so it's just down to the inevitability of human stupidity than anything else then. I guess you're right. I will see what's already fitted and get another couple of those. Cheers

Well if it looks like tooooo much overkill, the one coming with the beta is still there so I can use that. Anyhow, it's out for delivery and I'm sitting here patiently waiting for it's arrival

Question on umbilical for my beta/fet/EHHA. As many of you know I'm planning on sharing one sigma 22 between 3 amps in one big case. Is there any reason not to use a standard 3-core power lead as an umbilical from psu to amp? I ask because they're cheap, decent length, easy to find leads and sockets and they tend to be decent gauge copper. I can put three IEC sockets in a row on the back of the amp and even have them switched/fused if needed. I see many specialized connectors used or built for these and other amps and wondered if there was any logical reason not to use plain old IEC parts.

yes... but one day...

heh, well it will be feeding the dynafet boards too They are connectors on the leads, spade connector females.

my transfo.. avel lindberg av-66938 Is this pretty standard? I assume so.

Yeah Steve, I need to buy a XLR thingy to stick in it to test your phones with, It just occurred to me I don't have an xlr socket anymore since It went off with the other K1000

Eeeexcellent *rubs bony hands together* I don't know what size that transfo is, just to be safe I did buy a 160Va one... just to be sure it had enough juice to really blow the shit out of everything. Didn't want to take any chances The transfo I have here has a whole bunch of wires hanging out of it... no idea what they're for will post a pic of it tonight. Gah!! the one in the pic has a load of wires too

Yeah, it's a tight squeze alright!

Here are the pics I got of previous progress... Might be quicker and easier than I thought (fingers crossed), from a prior message.. "all that is left: case up the transformer. Build umbilical for power. Wire outputs. Power and test".

Ooh, that is so cool if you could find it, Nebby. It'd make life much simpler. I wonder if Rat Shack sells molex connectors. I have to put in parts Express order anyway.

Heh, yep it's been a while I'll need to search back through the old posts to find out where it was left at.

Nope, doesn't have the sub board, I wish it did as they are very neat and tidy.

no idea to all above! I don't know if anythind has been tested or what. I assume so but don't know for certain... It's se 3 board with a big-ass transfo Volty, great news! I'll shoot you a pm
