Tube Amp Archive

Thanks everybody.Now I think that I have what I was looking for.

thanks ,just not getting sound.I would like a chart that shows correct voltages for a 5e3.I always find people posting their voltages which are usually off,and that's why they are asking questions.(I'm fine with that)But I never see a post that shows what voltages are supposed to be.Maybe I'm just n...

Hi ,I'm checking voltages on my Classic Tone 40-18022 output transformer.On the primary side of the transformer I'm reading 355dcv on the secondary I read 0 dcv that doesn't seem right. On the 40-18022 ot one secondary winding is grounded to the transformer frame the other goes to the speaker jack ....

I finally was able to get some help getting a picture of my 8 pin tube socket.I removed the pins so you would be able to see the numbering.You can see that the key in the socket is between pins 4 and 5.. It should be between 1 and 8.,which is directly opposite of where it is. I don't know how this c...

Still working on getting a picture of this socket.(just got home from work).if I was more of a electronic tech ,I'm sure that I would have figured this out earier.But being new to this ,I thought that I was the problem.(which is usually true)But I wired these sockets using the weber diagram ,which m...

If there was not the positioning key on the tube I could have rotated the tube until the pins on the tube aligned with the proper pins on the socket.I didn't think of doing this until I had already disconnected all of the wires from the sockets.I also didn't want to damage the tube by filing off the...

I'm going to try to get my son to take a picture of this. It won't happen till tomorrow afternoon.The number on the socket are very small,so it may not be readable

I built this amp.Couldn't get it to work. Triple checked every thing.Built it using a Weber Diagram.The two power tube sockets were wired just like the diagram show.The tubes would not warm up -no sound.Months went by,then I looked up Triode Electronics.That's where I bought the transformers from.I ...

Hello everyone .Just joined. Been wanting to build or buy a tweed amp for some time now.Since buying one is not going to happen any time soon ,I've decided to build.I'm from Florida and Boot Hill amps is just twenty minutes away from me.Just Emailed them to see if I could get a kit tomorrow.I'll pro...
