#185 is one that Brandon has been in.... Another 6L6 HRM with some twists.
Scott, I'm confused about the .0022 OD1 cap.

It looks like U shape extruded aluminum pieces front and back with a sheet connected to the pieces for the bottom.
Wood sides with foil glued on. :wink:

He also milled out the gradient dials on the tkt amp...that must have took some time... they don't all line up proper either....I bet that drove him nuts! :lol:
Maybe, thats the reason it took/takes him 4-5 years to build an amp? :wink:

Being fairly new to the site and not being able to check in very often, I missed the chassis shot. Could one of you please send me a link where I can find it or a copy of the image?

Thanks.

Typically, HRM amps have a small OD1 cap. .0022 to be exact. However, some don't. I have heard of .0047 and .01 residing there. As long as their are other tweaks. You can't just use one with HRM101.
