@@elams1894 We have so much work for the milling machine, I can't keep up. I have far too many ideas squeezed between my ears that it's frustrating that I can't get to all of them... Even at that, I'm having a blast with it. I still consider myself an absolute novice, but I am amazed with the quality of the parts I can produce. I don't think it will be long before I have a much larger machine. It will likely run 24 hours a day.

@@GregsGarage that's fantastic. Quite the learning experience I'm sure. I'd love to get stuck into a milling machine but I wouldn't know where to begin. I've been thinking about a CNC machine and a 3D printer for sometime, even though I've nowhere to put them ha ha. Good on you, that's great to hear.

@@elams1894 I have a CNC router and the mill. They are similar but they take a different set of skills for sure. The only way to begin is to just dive in and try to make a few simple things.

Great stuff man! The transfer from Jig to chassis is super satisfying. Love following your videos/work even though im not building the kit. Fantastic choice of components btw, Im using the NKK switch as my choice of power switch in my stereo tube amp too along with Kiwame and Takman resistors. Looking forward to the next video! Inspiring me to give the youtube channel thing a bit of a nudge too.

@andrasdomjan5324 2 года назад

It is great to watch your work, thanks for sharing! I learn a lot from you documenting it so thoroughly. I have one question though: when you cut the end of a wire after soldering, I would think that this small piece falls back in the chassis. I am planning to build an amp kit (first time) and I already see myself loosing my mind when trying to find a small piece of wire in an already nice and tidy chassis.😂 Do you have any practical suggestions to avoid this or to find the small pieces easily?

@elams1894 2 года назад

Thanks Andras! That is certainly a problem I run into. I have used paper with a hole cut in it for the cable to poke out of. That becomes impossible if the cable is close to the guts. I have lost some little pieces down a socket a few times and its taken some effort to get out. Now I just cover the socket if close, however for all others I rely on the vacuum and making sure no little pieces are left. Great points, and certainly worth mentioning, cheers!

@thijs199 2 года назад

8:05 I've watched another video, and he soldered the ground wire to the chassis, saying it was a safer way, because if for god knows that bolt comes loose, the chassis might be charged

@elams1894 2 года назад

You can solder the ground point to the chassis if you like. I prefer bolting, but it's entirely up to you.

@rickg8015 Год назад

You choose some lovely parts.. Where did yoi get the Nikkai Selector Switch?? Best ASMR tube diy building channel..

@elams1894 Год назад

Unfortunately the Nikkei selector switch is no longer manufactured. The next best replacement is the SRF113-Z made by NIDEC COPAL ELECTRONICS. It is a Japanese company however the switch is made in China. It is however an excellent switch. Best source for the switch is Chip1Stop website in Japan. www.chip1stop.com/view/dispDetail/DispDetail?lang=en&cont=NZL&partId=COPA-0011926&mpn=SRF113-Z

@diegocastro5114 3 года назад

I love your videos. How many ground points on this GT5 build?

@elams1894 3 года назад

Thanks Diego. There are two ground points, one for the mains and power transformer ground leads, and the other, at the input jack, for all the audio grounds. It is advantageous to have no more than two ground points in the configuration stated above. Cheers!

@apexmcboob5161 2 года назад

Just discovered your channel and I've subscribed. Even though I've been building tube amplifiers for 50+ years one can always learn. I'm impressed with your technique and attention to detail. I am curious though, while you wrap leads solidly around the turrets posts you just poke wires through terminal holes and rely on the solder for a connection. Is there a reason behind that other than convenience?

@elams1894 2 года назад

Thank you, and yes there is a reason. When replacing a component that attaches to a socket lug or pot, if the component lead is wrapped around the lug, the pot or socket is invariably destroyed, or at least damaged in the process. This means a lot of further surgery to replace pot or heaven forbid, a socket. That is why I never wrapped a lug. It doesn't matter to the same extent on a turret as the component wire can be cut if things get too difficult. Also, because the turret is solid, a component lead can be unravelled under heat from a turret easily enough. Cheers Apex!

@apexmcboob5161 2 года назад

@@elams1894 That makes a lot of sense. I was taught to make connections mechanically sound before soldering and while that maybe might still apply to high current joints it can't make a difference on a properly soldered connection (think PC board for example). I don't recall ruining any components on assembly but I have done so on a later repair. To expand on what I said in my initial comment, one is never too old or too experienced (MUCH different things...) to learn something new and better. Thanks!

@Endermanso 3 года назад

Not really related to the video, but i was wandering wether you could help me. I have a 6DQ6 B tube, and i want to use It as a preamp, just before a high quality class D solid state amp. Is my idea any good? Could you suggest any tubes for my aplicattion?

@elams1894 3 года назад

The 6DQ6 is an output tube as I recall, with the plate connection at the top of the tube. Used in the output sections of Playmaster and Goldentone amps. I dont think youll be able to use it as a preamp tube. I have quite a few of those tubes that I intend to use for a vintage design amp. Best bet is to use a preamp tube like 12AX7 as a pedal type scenario, or for vintage perhaps EF86, or EF802, something like that.
