DIY Guitar & Amp

This is a narrative describing my effort at building and repairing tube audio amplifiers. My father is helping with this process, and I hope to learn basic electronics in the process.

The power transformer works!



And I have a scorched test lead clip to prove it. Though a poor choice of conections roasted a test lead, there was no fire and the transformer wasn't damaged. This transformer produces 320VAC and 6.2VAC, but it since there is no HV center tap I will need to use a modified rectifier circuit.
