maxg Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 i-cod (as in the fish) - I was thinking of expanding the iCod joke to incorporate your love of fishing but Michael sneaked it in before I could expand on the pun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOSValves Posted December 31, 2006 Author Share Posted December 31, 2006 VRD ST Still to be determined. Its may be a bit too different to actually hang the VRD name tag on it but then................. really hard to decide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebes Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 How about: THE SONIC ROCKET You could put one of those old 50's space ship logos on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted December 31, 2006 Author Share Posted December 31, 2006 Pretty cool idea Thebes!! Well here is some more shots for you all! I hoped to be much further then this but the wonderful wife I have has been home the last two days and do you believe she actually thinks I should eat 3 squares a day! Couple that with the other various unmentioned side tracks I keep getting involved in and it slows the progress a bunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike stehr Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Did you make the copper plates with the terminal posts, or is that a aftermarket item? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1stcav Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Nice! Looks like a KT66 perhaps(?)...is that pack of Marlboro Reds there for scale only?[8-)] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted December 31, 2006 Author Share Posted December 31, 2006 Did you make the copper plates with the terminal posts, or is that a aftermarket item? Mike I purchase them from IAGaudio.com found the place through Erik M. a long time ago he used one of his great chassis to build a pair of mono blocks some years back. I've used them on various projects so far and he is making custom examples for all my current and future projects. No more circuit boards for NOS Valves I hate the darn things. To limiting in the tweak department and years down the road after I'm long gone some technician will love me for making my products so they are easily serviced. Plus in the end if your not setup and can run the software to design and order your own circuit boards your at the mercy of whom ever you to use source them for your supply so you end up paying more and saving just about zero. Of course in some instances the circuit board can save you labor but with just the front end done on a circuit board I found zero savings in them and this methods works just as well if not better plus it looks awesome.

WopOnTour Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Ahh I missed the 2 terminal strips in the back 40... and the UL/Triode switches... and the attenuator (or lack thereof) [:$] Nice layout ! I've used a few of those IAG copper backed boards from partsconnexion.com... nice pieces http://www.partsconnexion.com/catalog/TerminalStrips.html Are those your own custom wound trannies??

Marvel Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 That PS tranny looks like the one Ned sells as a replacement for the Dynaco (please note that I am not saying you are making a Dynaco clone of any kind). I put one of those things in my ST 70 when I rebuilt it. Almost doubled the weight of the amp. [] Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
