I am getting the components together for the full range version, and I was wondering if you would be kind enough to consider making available the drawings and the manufacturer for the enclosure.  I rather like your design, and it would naturally make it much easier to use an enclosure that has already been optimized for its contents.

Decoud,

I do not think that I have all drawings of my original Melquiades design. I was looking in my drawing in my old paper drawer and that was all that I found. They are more evolutionary drawing and I do not even know if they were finals. Do not forget the my fist Milq was my first amp I built myself, so I do not think that there is a lot in there worth imitating.

 From my today point of view I would make a few things different for a full range amp. Still, some of the things in my original design I do like even now. I do like the shape of the amps. I like that the power transformer are sexy extended outside of the chassis and cover with an angled slope. I like a lot the layout of the signal – I do not think it could be better. I also do like that I use the “dumpster” method – cheating with silicone glue instead of mount the caps and few other elements by drilling of precise holes.

If you with you might contact John at Par-Metal NY, USA who made for me the metal work and he has all in AutoCAD.

He might press the metal for you very cheaply as it is all set on his computer. If you embrace my “dumpster” method then it would be an easy and inexpensive solution for you. I would only suggest do not make provision for a fan on back. A single 6C33C with sufficient amount of holes atop and at bottom do not need any forced cooling. At that time I did not know it…

Anyhow, it is very possible that my dimensions and my chassis for Milq would not be optimum for you as my design is bound to the parts I used. For instance the bottom past of the Milq has the heights of big power choke I use for 6C33C plate, the heights of the top part is the heights of the power transformers, You might go for less current in plate choke (it is what I would do now) of for a toroidal power transformer and then you will end up with much smaller case.
