Ok, so I ordered tubes and sockets and power supplies. This simple task did seem to get more complicated than I thought, and probably I stuffed things up somewhere for someone. I ordered 9 power supplies, 24 sockets and a massive 40 tubes. Blame rds for the panic buying of tubes (will they really blow if you leave the amp on for extended periods?--we'll see).
Now, there seems to be a discrepancy between the power supplies and the tubes; this is how I worked it out:
Power Supplies:
1 - fordgtlover
2 - gz76
1 - rjad
1 - m0b1liz3
1 - Daveze
2 - Pandaman
1 - Jingo Lingo
Total of 9 power supplies.
tube/socket sets (2 tubes + 2 tubes per set)
3 - fordgtlover
2 - m0b1liz3
2 - Pandaman
1 - Daveze
1 - rjad
2 - gz76
1 - Jingo Lingo
Total of 12 tube/socket sets. This means 24 sockets, 24 tubes.
Note that fordgtlover has asked for 3 sets of tubes/sockets but only one power supply, and m0b1liz3 asked for two sets but only one power supply.
Many of us opted to get extra tubes. As far as I could work out, this is the extra tubes we selected:
2 - fordgtlover
2 - m0b1liz3
2 - Pandaman
4 - Daveze
2 - rjad
2 - gz76
2 - Jingo Lingo
Total of 16 extra tubes. I had to guess a couple of these, due to my confusing terminology probably. So, Jingo Lingo asked for "2 sets of tubes and 2 sockets" don't know exactly what he wanted but I guessed 4 tubes, 2 sockets. m0b1liz3 asked for "hmm perhaps I should go for 2 as well..." I'm hoping he was asking for 2 extra tubes.
Total cost for tubes and sockets was $US112.80. I don't know what the tube postage costs yet, need to hear from Radio Daze for that.
If I ordered too many tubes, we can spread them around, but in the end I will take them if nobody wants them--just pay for what you think you asked for. I'm less keen to do that for the power supplies but probably we under ordered power supplies anyway.
The power supply postage cost $8.50, so a total of $AU188.50.
All this stuff will be sent to Jarpy, who will repackage and send out to us all. Big thanks to Jarpy for this chore.
I'll organise payment and delivery addresses when the parts start arriving.
