Re: Demuntification of flashed over sockets in a Jansen bass 50

Cheers. Was all going smoothly until I checked the heater voltage. I forgot that jansen used 12.6v taps. At least I checked before plugging in the tubes. Heaters were rewired making use of the filament CT to get 6.3v

Re: Whats on your amp workbench?

Re: Victor 16mm film projector amp

Very nearly all film projectors are 110v. Reason for this is the technology involved of making a suitably bright projector lamp filament. As a consequence of this, the amps all need a stepdown trafo to work. They can use a much much smaller one however than originally used, as you're not feeding a s...
