SURFING MUSIC SOUND-WAVES

Music is one of the most valuable gifts given by God to mankind. Music fills our inner-being and does wonderful things to mind, soul and body

The  AIKIDO  line-amplifier


I have sampled the AIKIDO sound   ...more....  and found it  interesting. I decided to make it another project for me !


The power-supply transformers  will again be  < Made by Setiawan >

I plan to fit out the forthcoming AIKIDO front panel chassis   with a pair of moving analog VU panel meters.

But YEO from DIY Paradise  << more >>  suggested me something SLICK .......  

 

Magic Eyes ! 

 6E5  magic eye tube 

B+ 250Vdc , 6.3 heaters, octal sockets, horizontal mount

 I want to save expenses as much as possible and uses a "poor-man's" chassis, a old thrown-away desktop tower. 

When cleaned, a desk computer CPU chassis  offers a lot of room to play around

John Brosky has kindly given me a direction of using a Line-Output-Transformer (LOT) on the AIKIDO.

Based on the 12SN7 tubes used, a pair of the swedish Lundalh LL1660 was purchased.

Having a AZ1 meshplate on the DHT26 did made me sort-of-a-fan of this particular type of tube. I still have some of them guys  in the tube drawer.

Thus, I plan to revamp the power-supply circuit incorporating  a meshplate AZ1 or AZ11 to  rectify the raw supply.

 

stay tuned..........
