God im jealous..... Mine isn't coming along soo well, still can't figure out why there is no sound coming from it

Pic to see if you can see the problem

Thats obvious and I am sure your going to smack yourself once you read this. The lines are going the wrong direction.

I'm not sure if this has already been posted, but it would be a great resource for the beginner DIYer working on the MAX. I kinda just stumbled on it through Google. *shrug*

Adfinni, with this pic it is hard to say, but it looks like the left side of the right cap is not soldered.

That is my suggestion.

Adfinni, it may be that you've got the wrong caps. I think the real ones need to be black-colored. Or maybe red.

O i like yellow, the yellowness apparently gives a great sound making the best mundorffs sound like swiss cheese

Il be ordering everything this weekend so soon you will have another MAX to help bring to life

Yep - that's c0nsumer's site! He did an oustanding job. Considering he came into this new, it's downright amazing. Sorry I haven't gotten around to telling you guys, but I did load all his pics on the MAX website gallery last night (that was a job - he had a bunch!).

There are a few things he did non-standard, so if in doubt, ask or refer to the MAX website for a different take. We all do things a little differently, though - as evidenced by the wide variances you guys have been doing on casework. It's all great!

I also got a very nice note from Phil Hazen at Radio Daze today. He's a good businessman that's trying to say as nicely as he can that he can't offer specific brands anymore for the Millett tubes. We have bought so much of his stock that it takes his guys half a day to hunt up these tubes in specific brands, so please keep that in consideration - or else he will be raising his price, most likely (he didn't say that, though).

Those of you who've bought a passel of these tubes have probably come to the same conclusion as me: pursuing certain brands with Millett tubes is almost self-defeating. There are only 3 mfrs who made the tubes as far as anyone knows - GE, RCA, and Sylvania. They also sold these to resellers and amongst themselves. I have Sylvania GE's, RCA GE's, GE RCA's, Sylvania RCA's etc., etc. You may in fact discover that you are just as likely to get the same mfr in a pair of tube types by not specifying as you are when specifying brand.

So, by all means, order from Radio Daze, but not by brand for Millett tubes.

Thanks.

maybe make a note (on the MAX site) that the "official" templates for the back panel don't work with the fuse.....just a suggestion

 

[tomb]

I'll rework them when I get a chance. In the meantime, I'll add a note.

SLACKER!

the MAX is too good for that....and this fuse dispute has to be put to bed.

Right. The hole would not be drilled wrong. It's the fuse that's wrong.

 

[tomb]

Seriously, it's not a trivial issue, and I'm not in a position right now to check it. I haven't even populated a production board, neither do I have the fuse clips. So, changing those templates are not going to happen overnight - even if I wasn't a slacker.

An interim solution may be to use an "outtie" instead of an "innie":

Jameco part #151590

EDIT: The note has been added to the website.
