You can find the copper PCB blank board at Radio shack for ~$6-7 I believe. If you are trying to shield something, steel foil from the grocery store works. If you need it for the ground plane - the above works well. Still, I prefer a star ground. - less confusing and less likely to have a short.

Wow, that is great! That is also a really nice service to the community. Is there a specific Hammond or other enclosure that you guys have in mind? It would be nice if we could get pre-drilled cases to take care of the other intimidating part - casework. The MiniMax looks fantastic and there could definitly be interest for something like this. PTP can be really…

Do you guys have any ideas of who will be supplying boards? *I have family members and friends who really want to get their hands on one as their second DIY projects (helped them do a CMoy one saturday and supplied the parts as an Xmas gift).* Boards will be between $15 and 20 I am guessing?

You can pick up the switched black plastic Neutrik jacks at partsexpress.com. Cheap and work very well. It is nice to not have to worry about the jack being isolated if you are using a metal case.

I dunno if anyone is buying from Jaycar, but this might make a cool looking enclosure since it already has the power switches and knobs. Plus the size looks just enough for the build. Jaycar Electronics I thought it might make a nice enclosure for my dad's one that he hinted at wanting , maybe over the summer.

You might have wired the tubes in reverse. Check that pins 1-7 read from the correct direction.

I use a CD1000 with this amp (though a higher current active ground version) and a preamp and have no issues. You could potentially just put a resistor in the signal path to attenuate if you are doing a one box solution (no need for a potentiometer).

If anyone has a pair of top Halo Getters I would be interested. BTW: The Raytheon and Sylvania are the same tube. The same construction, printing, print size, and print colors ( yellow brand label and white "19j6"). To anyone who is looking at other brands please consider this.

Try Orlando Vacuum Tubes They are very reliable and quick. If you could, try and find some top square getter tubes as I have found them to be the best sounding of any of the tube types with the much more common side D getter style comming in second. The top square getter also have a bit more treble than the other tube types so keep that in mind.
