Post Subject: Do you own little homework with YOUR parts.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 8/10/2008
Not necessarily. Collect the large parts that you will be using (Power Transformers, Output Transformer, Plate Choke(s), Plate capacitors, etc.) put them all together on a table and try to visualize how you would like your amp to look like preserving some rules that I outline in my post above. An experience in it is not really important thing. I have zero experience with building electronics but it was never an obstacle. It would be if I need a detailed finally developed specification for large production with all minute holes predrilled and positioned at the very right places, good for mass-assembling. This would require some experience technological and attention to details. In my case the box and the mounting methods that I used were very liberal, or something that might be called fool-accommodated. Pay attention that I did not have holes even for transformers and choked made by my metal shop. When I got the chassis then, only then I put the finally parts together, placed the transformers into the place, marked the spots and drilled the holes… But it is me… BTW, I have a thread somewhere where I documented with pictures the process of building the amp…
