exphy, most people sourced their 19J6 online, mine came from thetubecenter.com. If you can wait a couple more weeks when prototyping is successfuly completed, tubes will be available at beezar.com but you must also purchase the mssh pcb.

- Alpha 50K Audio Taper Stereo Pot [RV122F-20-15F-A50K];
- Neutrik 3.5mm Stereo Audio Jack [NMJ6HCD2];
- 20mm M3x0.5, Male-Female Aluminium Hex;
- TO-220 Heatsink Kit;



i ordered from farnell uk over the phone, instead of 50k resistors they sent me 100k ones, for 2.4k one they sent a led (shipped sepratly from the usa) the alpha pot was wrong and not dual. even tho the person. they did refund me before i even sent them back so i wont lose sleep over it

Perhaps this question has been asked before, but this is a long thread.

I am in Denmark: 230VAC/50hz with Schuko plugs. Can anyone give me a part number to an adapter?

Is there anything tied to the AC frequency?

Thanks.

No, Tom is selling the PCB with 2 tubes. You can only get 2 tubes with a PCB, or just a PCB.

I'm surprised Tom didn't clear htis up himself

I finally purchased a knob today and realized there is one other little artifact of mounting the SSMH PCB board "upside down" in the case (as designed). If you mount a typical knob on the shaft and set the knob set-screw on the flat side of the pot shaft, the knob indicator is a little wonky -- it's meant to all work the other way up. Simple enough to back out the set screw and set it into a round section of shaft so 0 is straight down (or up, or whatever), but maybe someone else will come up with a cleverer solution....

Well for one reason, because I'll have more stuff than just the tubes and PCB. So, clearing it up is a bit more complicated than that.

Wrong amp page ...sorry. This belongs on the MiniMax page.

Tomb, is there an ETA on the final boards?

We still need some more work done by the prototypers. There's still a few that haven't built their boards (including me) and no one but Nate and Royewest have cased them up. Roy is the only one to use the smaller case so far, but he ran into some issues. So, I'd like to see a few more try it before we finalize some minor changes to the board. I'm hoping to do mine this weekend.

It should take 2 weeks from the time I order the boards to have them in hand.
