Getting set up to start a little champ build over the holiday.
I've drawn out my layout make sure I have it well ingrained in my head:
There are a couple of things I may add. I may need to do a virtual tap on the 6.3v. It'll depend on what the PT looks like on arrival. Mojotone says the PT has a CT of the 6.3v in the spec, but the Kit they offer, which is specced as using this PT, has setting up a virtual CT in the instructions. Since I'm not buying the kit, just some individual pieces, I'll have to wait and see if it will have the CT.
I'm also thinking about adding filtering ahead of the OT. I have a 330ohm 5W resistor and an 8uF 400v cap in my drawer of stuff from other projects. I'm not sure if hum is going to be a real issue with an 8" speaker, and the other stuff I'm doing, but I have the parts so why not?
I might even do shielded wires from the input jacks and move the resistors to the tube lug.
And parts are starting to show up
I have to wait until Christmas to start the build. The kids wrapped up the chassis, circuit boards and cab, and they are under the tree
