January 23, 20233 yr Some days I have fiddly, little stuff that takes time, with little visual reward. The homeowners wanted to save these built-ins. We had to remove them temporarily to wire the walls behind. Either in the removal or during it's life, the cabinet was missing some little trim pieces that you just can't find today. So I have to manufacture my own. The end result just looks like nothing was done, when in fact it was a lot of fiddling.
February 17, 20233 yr About half of this coffered ceiling and 1/3 of the wainscoting was missing. I had to manufacture some of the trim that is no longer available. Painters have done a fantastic job making my work look even better.
March 25, 20233 yr Author So, after hurting my back I left some things up to the pros. Look how that turned out. Yes the blue and red color in the background is the EMS.
March 25, 20233 yr Author Just now, Grahame said: Brent level "Pro"'s ? Quite possible. I don’t compare their BAI’s - now you mention it, it wasn’t cheap. Then they figured out that another one of these can’t move itself. So maybe they will fetch a crane.
March 25, 20233 yr But if you think about it, the retaining wall is doing it's job very well. So there's that. I think you just got your projects mixed up. The bearing is supposed to be inverted, not the earth mover.

Oh yeah that project - I need a circle router template so I can recess the nut a bit on the back of the plinth. Ideal template would be a circle on the outside too so I could use that outside edge to cut away the dampening rubber backing on the plinth.
March 26, 20233 yr Sounds like a large washer might work. I bet someone could ping pong something for you.

March 31, 20233 yr Author On 3/26/2023 at 6:31 AM, n_maher said: Dimensions? Hm I am not exactly sure. I have a router with a “Standard U.S. Guide Bushing Adapter” (Festool OF1010 EQ Imperial) but no guide bushing (or at least I don’t see one in the box). I have various straight shank bits in 3/8”, 1/2”, 3/4”. I need the finished inside diameter to be 2-1/2” and then the outside diameter to be 3-1/2” (or up to maybe 4”) and enough surface to make sure it sticks down real well.
March 31, 20233 yr Author Ok, I think I figured it out. I want a 2.5” finished circle, using a 1/2” bit and a 3/4” outside diameter bushing so I need a 2.75” inside hole and a 4” outside diameter. The thickness would be best if more than 9/16” (that’s the height of the bushing). Did I pass the math test?
April 2, 20233 yr Author So I received the bushing set a day early and think I got it all setup. I guess the dust collection has to come off when using the bushing insert? Edited April 2, 20233 yr by luvdunhill
July 16, 20232 yr FInally got around to casing my DynaFET. I ordered the case from Modushop in November of 2021. I will probably clean up the wiring, particularly the output wiring. Also need to bolt the transformer down. I wish I would have done the lettering a bit smaller, but overall satisfied with how it turned out, and it sounds great, even though it is single-ended.
October 4, 20232 yr Audiotailor “Jade” something. Current sources, surface mounted components and ordinary films and electrolytics in signal path. Board size just within 100 mm X 100 mm. Then I get 10 boards for only 4.90 dollars. Shipping cost to Sweden is the “heavy” burden.
October 12, 20232 yr Built a small PSU - GRHV style - for a tube amplifier today. Ops. seems I mixed the test leads -138.4V on the clock. It's supposed to be a positive voltage supply. Edited October 12, 20232 yr by JoaMat
October 13, 20232 yr A senior Head Case member sent me two tubes some days ago. An old 6080 and a Westinghouse 12AX7A. Today I completed this in my kitchen. Amplifier is based on Jade, what now that is? PSU as mentioned above is based on Kevin’s GRHV power supply. It has been some fun building days.
October 27, 20232 yr JadeDubbleBottle is served. One 6922, two 300B and a few components on amp pcb. All DC filaments and GRHV at 140V. No cats and children have moved out so, no rush with chassis.
