chinsettawong Posted March 29, 2014 Report Posted March 29, 2014 Ceramic sockets are way cheaper than Teflon.
kevin gilmore Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 and I do not think they will fit the board. Maybe the 8 pin sockets can be made to fit, but not the 9 pin.
iwik Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 Yes the 9pin ones I got fit the board ok. I was just wondering ifthey were that much inferior.Les
spritzer Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Posted March 30, 2014 It really depends on the contacts and their quality. I suspect they are the same as the teflon units so you should be fine. That's assuming you are referring to something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1pc-9pin-Ceramic-Tube-Socket-Machine-Made-Gold-Pin-for-12AX7-EL84-6922-New-/130674502828?pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2&hash=item1e6cceacac
kevin gilmore Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 looks like the same pins as the teflon sockets, so if that is what you got it should be ok for both sockets
iwik Posted March 31, 2014 Report Posted March 31, 2014 Thanks Guys,Getting closer to build start.Les
mortal_fiend Posted April 3, 2014 Report Posted April 3, 2014 After looking at quotes for individual boards, I'm beginning to understand the concept of a group buy. Any chance anyone has a spare amp board or power board they'd be willing to sell? Pm me if you're willing to sell.
spritzer Posted April 3, 2014 Author Report Posted April 3, 2014 I will be ordering amp boards soon but I'll need to make a new version first. It needs some changes...
luvdunhill Posted April 3, 2014 Report Posted April 3, 2014 I will be ordering amp boards soon but I'll need to make a new version first. It needs some changes... Perhaps add a bit more rail capacitance and holes next to the power supply pads for probe points. I would also space the test point locations out a bit. Yeah there are probably lots of little things here and there.
mortal_fiend Posted April 3, 2014 Report Posted April 3, 2014 @spritzer Have you decided which materials/stats you'll be using for this go-around (FR-4 vs CLTE, .062" vs .125", ENIG vs ENEPIG vs whatever, 2 oz vs 4 oz, # of layers, etc.), or is it that thinking too far in advance?
spritzer Posted April 3, 2014 Author Report Posted April 3, 2014 FR4 and 4oz like the original test boards. Only two layers on all of our amps... Perhaps add a bit more rail capacitance and holes next to the power supply pads for probe points. I would also space the test point locations out a bit. Yeah there are probably lots of little things here and there. That's the general idea, fix those small issues such as a proper way to do the test pads, redo the input a bit to suit my particular needs (hello loopouts) and the like.
niner Posted April 4, 2014 Report Posted April 4, 2014 Had anyone received the chassis from Lil Knight yet? Can you share a pic or 2?
niner Posted April 15, 2014 Report Posted April 15, 2014 I guess not? Guess not. It will be nice to get an update from Tran.

luvdunhill Posted April 21, 2014 Report Posted April 21, 2014 if you look at the insides of the original, the 22k resistor was mounted on the backside about .5 inch from the board so that you could put clipleads on it to adjust. Kevin/Birgir: do you have a pic to confirm this? Sure it's not the 62K resistor? I suppose either could work, just curious. Also any chance you know the voltage across R73 in the original? It's the 6.2K resistor at the base of the Darlington in the servo...
luvdunhill Posted April 21, 2014 Report Posted April 21, 2014 Looks like red-red-black-red-brown = 22K 1%. Ok. Still interested in other question though...
spritzer Posted April 21, 2014 Author Report Posted April 21, 2014 We might have measured it at some time but this was 5 years ago.
kevin gilmore Posted April 24, 2014 Report Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) A few people have asked about the angle brackets. But I don't have any more. But the don needs some. So I will make some more. If anyone is interested let me know. Probably going to be about $140 for the set of 4 given what the price was, and what the new hourly rate for the machine is. Plus shipping. Will get an exact price on Monday. These will be for the original boards, not the shrunk one I did for lil-knight. Edited April 24, 2014 by kevin gilmore
nopants Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 seems like a neat alternative to the lil knight group buy
kevin gilmore Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 this is just the angle brackets, and for the boards that are 16 inches long. lil-knight has a board layout that is 15.65 inches long that fits his chassis. so the brackets I will be making are for the 16 inch board. will see about the other version later. so far 4 sets are spoken for.
nopants Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 I understood the distinction, I was just thinking that if we spun our own T2 boards (the older version) this would allow some flexibility in heatsink/case choices
spritzer Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Posted April 25, 2014 The current board just about fits a Modushop Pesante Dissipante chassis...
luvdunhill Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 If it's not tied to the original case, I would try to get more of the device case on the flange. IMHO the old design there is a 1/8" or so of the case off the edge.
