What keeps Don busy (in his retirement) is tube amp construct, chasing down NOS 45s or 6A3s or getting a good price for Psvane 300Bs and suitable schematics. He fills in his day bringing all this together to construct an amp. Yes it would be nice if it worked first-up. His age and limited skill for fault finding, schematic following and "electronics sensibilities" often works against him though his wood work and construction is sheer perfection.
I give him points to check and procedures to follow to assist him to fix the amps himself but this never works. It's time for me to assist those who are prospering the art but not always able to bring their builds to final fruition. Time for me to help where in the past I was helped. If I didn't help Don a dozen non-working amps would be sitting on dusty shelves. Right now Don has eight working beautiful amps and three more on the way. Today I took a quick look at his parallel 6C33C which has some serious PS issues. Soon I will help him to get this going too.
