Hm, I couldha' guessed that

The vibration/hum, which is all mechanical / resonance with the crappy tin box really is ****y though. Otherwise it would be a nice little amplifier.

Andrew, have you thought about doing a youtube video?

I wish I had your productivity!

No I don't.....I wish I had some of your amps.

Cheers,

Clive

Doing a youtube video! I barely know how to watch a youtube video.

I'd like a webpage or site thing too, like Steve and Simon, but I may aswell shoot at the moon.

And all this week I am very much in the doldrums and doing nothing. Work and other things are really intrusive.

I cut a pad of mousemat and only hand tightened the fixing screws: no hum!

Now Schubert and the boys are doing Death and the Maiden - marvellous.

I'm using £20 ebay 'hardwarehouse' 5-6k output transformers and they are giving me a lovely top end; quite unlike the usual warm recordplayer amplifier sound.

So now I can just let it all melt and see what happens next.
