komet like amp layout

[Bob S]

A couple of pics of my Komet type build.
Simple, direct KF design.
Still needs a couple of things tidied up before I box it up. Grommets & cap clamps etc.
In fast mode it'll strip paint...

I like it Bob... Very clean looking build.

That looks killer! I may need to dive into this project next.

Is there a good layout of the KF60 floating around?

[M Fowler]

Looks good.

The use of dual can caps makes so much more sense then stacking under/over like Komet did.

DOH!
Could you please have posted the can cap idea before I ordered parts??
Looks good.

Edit:
Actually... how do you make that work with cans when there's only one negative terminal?
Can't quite make it out in the pics.

Looks like both positive lugs are tied together to parallel the caps... the resistor on each looks like a bleeder to ground.

Also looks like a Bourns 10-turn pot for the bias adjustment... Bob, where did you get your chassis? Looks heavy duty... a lot like Mark's build.

50/50 plates, 32/32 screens, 22,22,22 from there. 220k bleeders on 1 & 2.
Heaters elevated about 75v.
Bourns 10 turn - good eyes Tony - I know it's not necessary but...
I got the chassis from Allyn. Thick like 1/8" with welded triangular blocks in the corners.
Might bump the power up to 60w or so with kt88s or 6550s.
The fast/gradual switch change is huge - might rein that in a little.
Nice amp - Loud.
