Double stick carpet tape has always worked for me.

Just wanted to see is anyone else has had issues with the JJ GZ34, I have bought them a at a time dozens and it seems like one or 2 out of the batch will have a short. Bad thing is I have to eat them as my supplier won't make good on them after a short return time. I stock quite a few tubes for repa...

Hey RJ;

Nice to see you building again, I had to take some time off myself. First time I have checked in here in a long time.

Talk to you soon.

Cooked it for about 3hrs and played it for another 45min. Working good, hope that did it.

Went and got some new ones this morning and letting it burn in for a couple of hours.

Will let you know.

Structo, They are leaking voltage. I can lift one leg and the channel comes back, found it by only having about 35v on the plate of that triode and the other side having normal ~200v on the plate. The OD channel was not workings, you can guess, happened 2 times in about a month. Overtone, thanks for...

I'm using the tweeked build and it will sound get for a while but I have lost 2 silver mica smoothing caps on pins 6 to 8. The caps are rated for 500v I have never had this problem before. Any thoughts?

BL

BTW the plate voltage at pin 6 is right at 200v

I have used the household shoe goo and E6000 both work great and skin over very quick.

YMMV

Thanks Bill. I had found that also and have an e-mail sent to Ken Fox. The Compactra 100 schematic is out there and has helped a lot, although it doesn't have the tremolo circuit and the ever exciting and elusive "Sho-Fuzz" circuit. :mrgreen: It wasn't working and now it is. But I'm not completely s...

Hoping someone will have a schematic for this amp. I've all kinds of searches to know avail. These amps were built for pedal steel.
I found the Compactra 100 schematic but no TelStar. Compactra helps but............

TIA

Thx Gents sent Brian an e-mail.

Got an original 5D2 cabinet only. Looking for an either original or repo chassis. The 5F2A chassis is too wide. Needs to be 13.5 inches wide. Any help would be appreciated.

I've been looking at the same thing for a while. Nice small tube amp in the shop to run a CD player, Computer out and my sat radio through. Been using an old Pioneer solid state A/V stereo receiver for a long time......it finally crapped on me so now I have an excuse to build a stereo amp. I know I ...

I'm with vibratoking; =C= 6L6 have more depth and aren't as brash, TungSolskie in 5881s are nice also. JJs pre-amp tubes are fine, I find myself using them in all positions but V1 and then I like the TungSolskie 12AX7 or a nice NOS 5751.

Wouldn't it be easier to just isolate the head from the cab? These are what I use on all my amps. I get them from CE.
