Wow. Super nice work. I notice the Audio Technology theme on a couple of the amps. Fan of their speakers or an employee? Also looks like your into control line airplanes

Yes I have been knowing Per Skaaning the last 25 years or so, I'm passing his workshop every day, when I'm driving to work. You got me, I also like to build model airplane, control line and RC-controlled.

Thought I'd share a few pix of my PS1 mod's. So far I've bypassed the output stage using Vampire CCC wire through two 3.3uF Clarity Caps, installed better RCA's, and remote-mounted the power supply in a cast aluminum case. I've also installed the receiver for a remote in the #2 memory card slot.

YES - it looks like a McCoy redhead - now tell me where you know that. Controliners are a rare breed.

Hi tomd

You have right it's an old McCoy redhead from the sixties, I have become it and other old motors like Cox, Os Webra and a few more from my father. Are you into Controliners also?

I've flown combat and precision stunt since the mid-to-late '60's. I still have a couple of Fox Combat Specials, a Fox 35, etc.

This is a followup to my post 2570. I followed PinkFloyd's advice on his site, www.rock-grotto.co.uk, and replaced the caps on my tube buffer. I replaced the electrolytics with Pana FM's (had to use FC's for the little guys), and the film caps with Wima's. I put one of each of the old ones on top of a replacement to show the difference in size.

Pink wasn't kidding: it does make one heck of a difference. So far, I'm very impressed. For no more than I have invested in this (driven by my modd'ed PS1), it's soundin' astoundin'.

I have a few of those tubes lying around for ages, maybe its time I can put them to use.

Best regards



Hi GeWa

Right now I'm not willing to share my schematics, because I will try to make a little production, just for fun. Perhaps I could be so lucky that I would be able to sell 10-50 of my amp. It have been up against the famous Rudistor RP-7, the sound of my amp was equal to the Rudistor, so I have hit the right design for my schematic.

Best regards,

Torben

My modest efforts at making CMoys

This was my first one. The two knobs are left and right volume because I couldn't find a double pot.

This is after I borrowed the case for my third amp

This is my second CMoy, I call it the DaftMoy. I found some rca's at radioshack that looked like a step up from their usual crap, so I gave them a try.

Here's the inside

Here's my latest, with 1/4 and 1/8 outputs, and rca and 1/8 inputs

and the inside

On the DaftMoy, I didn't use a switch between the 2 inputs, i just wired them in series. Any disadvantages to doing it this way? On the third amp, I did use switches for both the inputs and the outputs.
