Thanks for the replies.
Yeah, pics would help but unfortunately I don’t own a camera not does my mates wife and popping up to Hertfordshire to take a few pics under the circumstances isn’t really on
However, I’ve got his drawings here and now I have some idea of what I might be looking at (thanks Clive) the WAD looks like its KIT 6550 with some upgrade plans.
(Now I know what the 6550C and 5U4G Svetlana valves were for)
It looks like he planned an all ally enclosure and got rid of those ghastly tag boards along with a few cap changes.
As far as I can tell from my list all the components are there; just didn’t recognize what they were for at the time
I’ve got plenty of ally sheet, think I’ve got some ¼ sheet for the faceplate somewhere as well so I can machine up a case.
I don’t need loads of outputs and I can use an internal jumper and get rid of the selector pot and exactly match input impedances while I’m at it.
Looks like a goer
So, I’ve seen Tony Moore’s post here but I still have no idea as to what one of these can sound like.
If it’s the usual floppy bass and silky undefined treble common to many low powered valve amps I’m not certain it’s worth the bother; been there
It will need to drive my Volts. They have a nice steady impedance range (it’s the impedance shift that causes problems in my experience rather than low or high) and are reasonably efficient.
Any thoughts on the performance of this kit?
What’s it worth?
As for the Affordable Valve Co amp, need a lot more info than I can get from their ebay site before I sort this pile of bits out.
