im gonnna convert a pc psu into one

i've highlighted the 6 12AX7's

because i need 6 12ax7's and whats the pilot light for? i am gonna build a 20w valve first before this, but i'm gonna order all components at the same time. i've only built solid state before ....

just finished component list:

hmmm ther not el34... but i can prob get JJ el34 and can anyone garauntee me that el34 are used in JCM800 master volume? in the better of the circuit diagrams, all thats written next to the main valves is the voltage in 480 ...

So out of a choice of Tubes: # Sovtek EL34WXT # Electro Harmonix EL34 EH # J.J. EL84 Tesla which are better? Sovtek 12AX7 or Mullard 12AX7

oh well ... :S i'm probably gonna buy a new 5-way selector switch, this one with the spring, between the neck and mid pickup, is a bit dangly from overuse if you know what i mean, and i might blow some money on some strap knobs ... and i might buy a leather strap aswell, this cheap one is useless.

ok lol i respect you but, i can easily get stuff from an electronics wholesaler Tubes PreAmp - $15 Tube EL34 - Set of 4 off ebay $45 (aus prices) Transformer - http://www.siliconchip.com.au/cms/A_102096/article.html (i hav the rest) I have a Mill, 3 Routers, a Nice Nice Dremel with many accessories a drill press, what else might i need to make a nice shaped cab ps. i am gonna make a 15w valve before diving deep, but i'd like to plan ahead ..

yer i know, he's just warning me ... Valve amp construction ain't for the faint hearted

the components aren't that expensive ....

does a 1959 superlead sound nicer?

JCM 800 Series 2203 Preamp 2203 Poweramp Master Vol preamp 2203 100w 2204 Preamp 2204 Poweramp

i'm looking to fill a park ... yer i've decided, im gonna make a JCM 800

although this amp here: http://www.diyguitaramp.com/j50.html if i didn't cut corners ... could be exactly what im looking for

hmmmm I found this 100w power amp shematic: http://www.firebottle.com/ampage/schems/mpwr100.gif but doesn't mention anything about voltages i can see it has two inputs and a nice easy rectifier, i'd prob stick in a bridge ..

lol soz its been a long day ... 12AX7

OK i can get schematics for heaps of amps ..... im looking to make between a 100w and 200w EL34's and 12AUX7's are the valves i'd like to use ... what ones would you guys make? i'd prefer a circuit that runs off 700v but if there is a 400v one, thats fine ...

Basically I'm gonna fix up this peice of crap guitar that arrived on 12 Mar 2005 http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...me=STRK:MEWN:IT http://i2.ebayimg.com/01/i/03/74/b0/fa_1_b.JPG http://i10.ebayimg.com/03/i/03/72/29/d1_1.JPG http://i4.ebayimg.com/01/i/03/72/ec/75_1.JPG http://i15.ebayimg.com/01/i/03/73/58/df_1.JPG http://i9.ebayimg.com/02/i/03/71/d3/75_1.JPG it doesn't look so bad in the photos there ... but when i got it, the bridge and strings were rusted, the scratchplate (as seen in photo's) is 'unique' but really really warped and wrecked, the guitar also generated a LOT of hum. the paint was chipped all over, the neck has deep scratches (which are still there), it sounded like crap (and felt like it too). But the fretboard was in nice condition ... just a bit grimey. so after playing it for about 10minutes, i decided to boil the strings (bad idea) they snapped after reaplication, lcuky I also ordered sum D'Addarios off ebay .... Then it got dismantled and layed across my bed.
