Re: Pre-amp for Linsley-Hood?
Back when I was a lad, I bought a kit for one of the LH power amps. Forget which of his designs it was. Must have been 1971 or thereabouts.
Built it, tested it - perfect. Then screwed the lid on. The lid had folds front and back. And the fold at the back was too long and shorted all the (TO3) power transistor collectors to ground. Bang.
I was both gutted and furious. Lots of hard won pocket money went into that darned thing, and the idiots who had designed the mechanics cannot possibly have done a trial assembly.
Of course, they did not want to know when I contacted them.
