The Amp Garage

Hi guys, I am finally back online after two years off due to health problems. My eyes are a little better plus my son bought me a big monitor. Not ready to build again quite yet. I saw somewhere in the last few days a post about a "new" (to me) chassis builder who builds aluminum chassis. I neglecte...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Mcrracer and son,Phil. I have my son pop in every now and then to see whats going on. I look forward to getting back to building amps. Take care and Happy holidays to all.

Hey guys my dad says he wanted to build one of these Overdrive specials and never got around to it. He built the board for one and populated it but never finished it. Anybody out there want to finish this amp for him. Send me a PM if you are interested and can do this. We can discuss it further. Tha...

My dad says thanks guys he was looking for a simple solution. Thanks for all your suggestions. My son couldn't find any talking meters but I will have him look again.

Hey guys this is Phil I'm asking a question for my dad, Mcrracer. Does anyone know of a company that sells talking multimeters. His eyesgiht is still impaired and he is going nuts because he cant build anything or do any amp work. He would like to be able to at least check resistors and cap values. ...

Thanks

I have seen somewhere before an adapter you can use on an 8 pin tube when the center key way has been broken off. Does anyone know what the piece I am looking for is called and where I can get about 4 of them.

Has anyone seen or heard from Chris (dynaman). Ive been trying to catch up with him for a week. Is he still building amps. Thanks. Phil for Marlon (mcrracer)

This is Phillip I am trying to help my dad finish up an amp. He asked me to look at the schematic, now I don't know how to read schematics but he is trying to tell me what to look for. I am looking at what he says should be the symbol for a pot but it doesn't look like the other ones. Instead of an ...

Hey guys, My eyesight has improved enough, after 5 weeks, to write this post myself. It is a struggle and exhausting but I am doing it. Thanks for all your prayers, thoughts and well wishes. Yeah, two local guys bought all of the stuff. I hated to do it but pretty much had to. I am a long way from b...

Thanks Cliff. Do you happen to know what cap number that is? C??? on the Express schematic and is that between stage 2 and stage 3 I have to describe this somebody else and i don't want to leave any room for error.

This is Phil posting for my father Marlon(mcrracer). My dad needs to know what the circuit designation is for the Coupling capacitor that Ken sometimes paralleled in the Express. Also what was the value? My dad has used this option before but can't remember the details and he can't see the schematic...

Thanks guys for your prayers and well wishes. It looks like the parts are spoken for, One of the new guys.
