oldred Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I wonder if he pre-forms all the bends in the wires or if he does it as he is going along? Sure looks sweet George, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornukopia Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 He did a great wiring job on those tube amps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minermark Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Meh, it's all solid wire, not impressed, this is the easiest wiring method ever. Try it sometime, you will impress yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coytee Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 (said as a compliment) You gotta be pretty OCD to get that picky about wiring....that said.... being OCD on something like that is likely a positive! They do look nice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As i recall, back when building Ham gear, it seems i remember some old Ham called it "Pipeline" and "The" prefered method i was to learn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 That's the way electrical conduit is laid out, I wish all builds were this clean. No way I need that many tubes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tube fanatic Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I'm glad the guy self-describes his wiring method as "alien." It sure is, and I advise anyone building their own amp not to emulate it! Sure it's very neat and pretty but, in some installations, will be a disaster in terms of RF pickup and may increase the likelihood of oscillation. Leads should be routed as close to the chassis as possible, and every effort should be made to keep them as short as possible. The method featured results in leads being much longer than they need to be which can also increase RF pickup. But, he said it works fine, so he's fortunate!

seti Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 It goes back to the early days of radio. There is a radio in the Klipsch factory museum that is a great example of this style. Here is one I found on the electric internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look closer at the stranded orange wire, (which appears to be a type of Teflon insulation) you'll notice the bends aren't as tight as the solid core yellow insulated wire. I may just have to find a pair of those jewelry pliers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcarey13 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I have a pair of those jewelry pliers and I never knew what they were till this thread. I got them from a buddy whose dad was a lifelong metal worker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Old Military equipment is wired that way. Might make trouble shooting easier. Parallel runs make cross-talk more likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maynard Agree with Maynard .... may look pleasing to the eyes but not the method to use for optimum performance. miketn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
