I purchased a kit from Earle Weston recently - some of you may remember some posts I made a while back about my push-pull Trinity amp... lessee... here. Well, this is a kit, so I'm posting in the Lab this time. It's a single-ended amp designed to use pentodes in triode mode - by default KT88 or EL34. I'll provide the details on my blog, but post updates here.

Here's the first installment:

That's a nice looking kit, John.

I'll be checking back to see if your wiring dress is as neat as Earle's; mine certainly isn't.

Hi John, probably not but I can try

Here is my sketch for signal component layout:

Looking good, John. One suggestion as you work through the build: try to make sure any heater wiring is very tightly twisted. As Morgan Jones would confirm, it makes a big difference.

Looking really good John. I hope to get some projects going this winter. As I say that every year.

Keep the updates comin'
