Outstanding Video! You have wonderful way of explaining the technical aspects of why and what you are doing, that even a novice like myself can follow and easily understand, Bravo!!!!!
Haha I just built a Mojotone build using Alex's pcb and was wanting to find a vid on first power up and this is the first vid that popped up. I should know just go to your channel by now
thank you so much for making this video. i have just started on amps and could not find a good video explaining first start up and checks . i have just finished my jcm 800 build and i was not going to turn it on before finding a video on voltage checks and yours was perfect. you explained everything so someone new could understand. you also explained why you had to do these check. I would recommend this video to anyone new to amp building. i cant wait to see more of your videos. thank you again
very helpful video! i had a bad (new) EL34 and it red plated. i wasnt paying attention and didnt notice until i saw smoke coming off the glowing resistor on the tube socket. thankfully the resistor did its job and didnt ruin anything
Great Video! You don't recommend using a variac to wind up mains on startup? I know some guys do that. Also, can you show how you connect the bias current meter? I don't think that was shown.
Ah ok, gotcha. Its one of these, www.amazon.com.au/dp/B07CR5DN1V/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_E9CBNWAVFNKP1YFT7FP0 You plug the probe socket in between the tube and the chassis socket
