In Reply to: So Al have you spun up a Cornet at all? posted by tubesforever on June 10, 2006 at 08:18:57:
After reading and researching I figure you can build and finish a Cornet2 (which has a much improved circuit to the standard Cornet IMHO) for about $400 in parts. This would include the case, iron, run-of-the-mill new production tubes and upgraded signal caps.
Most parts are sourced from DigiKey with the transformer from Hammond and the case from Hagerman. It is sold fully finished and assembled for $1000.I would supply my own NOS tubes from my collection for a bit of "savings".
The Bottlehead seduction uses the "dreaded" 6922 which I don't particularly care for. I have a large collection of 12a*7 types which makes the Cornet attractive to me.
Now I gotta get back to rubbing my Nickels together to stimulate their reproduction (grin)!
Dig the link and read the manual, parts list, schematic and build notes. All are available to peruse before purchasing at the provided link. There is even an order template for digikey that has all the needed parts saved to a list for easy ordering. The Cornet's instructions read pretty straight forward and if you have built a kit previously, they are certainly on par or better than a Velleman kit's instructions (which are pretty good).
