Default Re: 120W PP EL34 amplifier re-born.

"Good news Andy, maybe it's time to draw a line under this one and get going on the successor" Definately mate, all that's left to do is cover the meter needle's in gold leaf, go over everything to make sure I've left nothing off/unsoldered/etc and give em a soak test, oh and find some better volume knobs.

Here's a few pics... I decided to go with meter's a la Disaster Area spacesghip control panel, IE all black, I'll cover the needle's in gold leaf though a meter that reads nothing and you can't see the needle does appeal to my perverse SOH.

Measured both amp's yesterday for OP, they're the same and they both indicate clipping and SW off at 144w. Interestingly the OPT and amp can do about 150w without breaking a sweat, though it's pushing it.

Andy.
