Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

Not hats .....

but seat cushions. Small polyurethane dots/bumpers/feet. Uh huh, under the tube, at socket. Sure, only rated 150 degrees. So, of course checked every day for a while, then a longer and then longer interval. Just fine under my 300B's. As hot as the rectifiers (no poly dots there, Thank You veddy much) and main xfrmr get, the amp's surface temperature is actually nothing to really bat an eye at.

Now the fully enclose phono stage .... that's another story. The polyurethane dots DO show signs of mechanical change/distortion due to heat.

Use at your own risk.
