Re: [AMRadio] $80,000 stereo amplifiers

Barrie, As a bit of an audio nut myself I have thought about several easy ways to build a BIG TUBE amp up. While the more interesting and exotic tubes would be fun, you are right in the difficulty of obtaining output iron reasonable. But, there are several US transformer custom shops who wi

[AMRadio] build an audio amp using an old Eimac tube, the 100TL??

Barrie, a word of caution! I think the recipe requires winding that transformer -only- during a Blue Moon, just After the Summer solstice, whilst chanting verses from the 'Electronicus Magnus', (1623 edition) bound in genuine quartzite covers, no? Or so I'm told. OK, maybe it was 1624...

Hi John and all, I have been going to Dayton for a long time and I know probably a lot fewer years than a lot of you. However Dayton is Dayton and I would hate to be in charge. I and one of the guys that has gone with me for years used to be in charge of the Peoria Hamfest. Maybe 5000 folks plus o

Having rescued one of these beasts in Sept of 2005, I can certainly relate to the comments offered. It is one enormous, over-overbuilt transmitter - particularly for a mere KW. It took 3 of us all day to disassemble and load this transmitter. And some light disasembly had already been done! The i

Don: I've had a desire to build an audio amp using an old Eimac tube, the 100TL, behind a window, would be the best looking. I'm an audio nut, so I've mentioned this idea on a couple of audio forums, but the hand-wound transformers, using pure silver wire, wound at midnight, while facing exactly

All Crazy prices aside - you must admit these amps are sure wonderful on the eyes ;) I still plan on building my own stereo amp with a couple of Sventlana 811-10 tubes. It will cost me 1/1000th the cost of that 304TL unit, but hopefully provide as nice a visual show. Heck that's why we like th

John, I guess "ugly" is in the eye of the beholder. I also have dismantled an RA1000, and remain impressed to this day, some 15 years later, at the "overbuilt" construction you mentioned. Yes, there is no observation window for the quad of 833A as with other transmitters of this vintage, and yes,
