Dumbleator in a Different Chassis

[David Root]

Just finished wiring up the coax. This is in a 17x8x2 aluminum chassis, 3/32" thick, from rj. I'm not a rack guy so I just put it in a conventional chassis. Iron on top, and the tube too. It will end up in one of Taylor's cabs, which will match the cab of his I got for the first gen ODS #004 I recently finished.

Thanx to Brandon for his two posts in the D-Files from several years ago which made it a lot easier to do.

It is to spec except I added a small Fender choke, Hammond 194A, and cut the PS caps from 2x47uF and 2x33uF to 4x22uF. I jumpered where the 15K dropping resistor would be in case I need to adjust voltages when I put the juice to her. The PT is a Hammond 262B6, 120VCT at 43mA, 6V3 at 0.3mA. It's actually about a 125V secondary as it's designed for a 115V wall voltage, so I figured it will come out pretty close on B+ without the 15K dropper.

Both boards are bigger than the original because the space is there doing nothing.

Looks great David! And you can throw it off a bridge and it will be fine Cool mods.

So long as it's in its head cab it would! I'd hate to lose the tube. Thanx Dave. The iron weighs maybe two pounds at best. Nice change after 100 watters.

Nice work on the soldering of the tube's leads. Wao!

Enjoy it!
