It seems that many of been concerned over the current draw for the heaters since this build uses EL34s and really calls for 6.9 A on the heaters.

Re: Monkeymatic ODS #183

What a great build, superb work! I'm contemplating a 183 before I do my low plate 124 build. I'm concerned about the capacity of the PT to handle the heater load. I'm posting a question separately on that. I assume that's the source of the heat concern.

Re: New 70s hybrid build

I have one precision board left too - doing a 124 next, but the old style board is fine for me. I'll have to make one. Enjoy the build!

Re: New 70s hybrid build

Sounds awesome! Once I figured out the quirks with the switches that have been documented previously, and added the 10K tell resistor on the bass pot, and got the FET set, it was a dead nuts winner. Love it!

I did have to drill a few extra holes, but I do that sort of thing all the time. Sorry I couldn't reply sooner - I am no longer able to access this forum on my main home com...
