Ken, any ideas on spikker choices?
Click to expand...

I have very few speakers that won't perform well with 20 WPC of clean power, and I don't listen at super loud levels. It'll be interesting to hear how the BK-16 sound with some more watts behind them, and it will have more than enough power for the KG-4, ADS L710 and Polk 10B. Can we have both 4 and 8 ohm taps?
 
Oh yeh, you get 4, 8, and 16ohm taps.:yes: Here's a couple wood choices; the left is Cumyran Chestnut, and the right is that Santos Mahogony. There's always your standard oak too.:dunno:

Those don't actually work that great - the pins have no flex/spring to them (they bend), and can have trouble with contact after changing a few tubes. The old style seems to work pretty dad gum good. I like the new belton ones from AES or NOS amphenols if I can get 'em.

You are right on that. i should also ad that the the retaining ring on those cheap, overpriced chinese made sockets (like the ones that are shown in the pictures) have a nasty habit of breaking & can drop on the connecting lugs & short them out. i had to do a major repair to a amp that used these sockets. two of them broke, shorted, & burned a few resistors up.

amphenols are the ONLY way to go.
 
Well Ken, we gotta start somewhere. Here's the Aluminum chassis with all the dings hammered out and a good coat of ruddy brown primer. The outputs are in primer too, and they turned out very slick.:scratch2:

Jay,

I see your getting the idea here :yes:

Nice restoration work to :thmbsp:, Love those Taiwan sockets!:yes: Pricey but some of the nicest I have ever seen.:D

SET12
 
Here's the chassis all straightened out and painted. I'm thinking maybe a hammered black on the TXs.:scratch2: Anyhow, now to dig out the saws.:yes:

First check out this leather brown sample, it may be just enough "different". Remember too, the TXs are slick, all the pitting came out. Also, my corner clamping set-up.:D

I'm starting to get a plan together.:yes: This will give you a vague idea of where it's going. The huge motor runs were the only electronic device I could find, big enough to "camouflage" the ugly PT.:D This thing is going to be BIG and HEAVY, so probably best not to ship it anywhere. You can snag it when you grab me for the fest.:yes:
