You must have been looking at the wires to the driver and or preamp heaters.Littlewyan wrote:Very informative. I do wonder what wire/capacitors/valves Ken would have used today. Also my reason for moving to 20AWG wire is the insulation breaks so easily on the 22AWG stuff I've got, little bends in the wire really show and it just looks untidy and doesn't stay in place that well due to it being so thin.
Might buy enough wire off RJ for two wrecks, am thinking about building another but this time a proper clone.
Edit: By the way, I was looking at pics of Francesca the other night and the heater wiring was 20AWG not 18AWG. Stated it on the wire. Although I know Ken has used different heater wiring in certain wrecks so maybe he just used what was available for the heaters, hence why some may have used 18AWG wire.
EL34's draw 1.6A of current each, 12AX7's only0.3! Wiring to the power tubes was with 18ga. wire and for the rest of the amp 20 ga.
