Need schematic drawing program

Can anyone help me locate a good cheap schematic drawing software program ?
One for tube amps of course.
The tech I had doing my schematics graduated school and took a job out of town , I have no access to his schools computer and program.

Thanks in advance,

Re: New Build - Z Wreck Style

That was one quarters worth.
I order 100 of the tung-sol 12AX7's a month.
So the 135 failed was from 300 I purchased in 3 months.

Re: Struggling With Reverb Circuit Hum

Cosmo, try using Isolation RCA jack on the return.
The Jacks come with a two piece plastic washer to isolate the body of the jack from the chassis.
Then on the jacks ground washer, solder a wire to your ground buss.

Re: New Build - Z Wreck Style

[quote="M Fowler"]Dr. Z TAG members should stop making these amps so you can keep your Zwreck line growing even more. I will make the commitment right now that I will stop promoting the cloning of your Zwreck since it is a production amp and your bread/butter were talking about. Thanks for the insig...

Re: New Build - Z Wreck Style

Nice job Steve. You sure have some building chops. It's on par with Marks. Now I know were I can find some subcontractor amp builders. BTW I'm curious, minus your labor how much do you have invested in parts to build that amp? Also I can see your going to have a problem with your Switchcraft #12 inp...

Re: Send in the Clones

Dear Dr. Z, A bit touchy on the subject, aren't we? I guess I am. I can understand your being cheesed off a bit about, it. Yeah I do get my share of dissing, while some other amps companies are untouchable. I wouldn't exactly say the Hammond Amp was useless, (unless you are referring to guitars) I p...
