Building a vacuum tube amp from scratch

[dlgoff]

I am not sure why I think solid state electronics is so scary to work on. It is not so visual and many components are very small and a bit hard for me to read. I am also not sure why I feel pretty comfortable poking around in some 700 volt tube circuit.

Small, yes. But you can, for the most part, rest your fingers on some components while probing without seeing fire. One gets sloppy troubleshooting solid state then gets bit when checking out a 700 volt circuits.

I have to at least pretend I can use a scope...lol If not Jim Hardy will revoke my license...lol

Knowing Jim, he'll find the problem without any test equipment. Just sayin'

I wish I could be of service to more people but I feel like I don't know very much so I read other post and keep quite for the most part.

Thing is, others are reading your post, learning, and keeping quite. But I understand as I feel the same when it comes to the mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics. You don't see me posting there but I read a lot there.

Perhaps working that close to all that nuclear stuff for all those years is the reason...lol

It is past Jim's bed time so we can talk about him..lol
