300B SE-OTL Build
#1 300B SE-OTL Build
I've been quietly working away at a build of Bruce Rozenblit's 300B SE-OTL amplifier (circuit published in 'Tubes and Circuits') for a couple of months now so thought it time to share progress.
As the name suggests, the amplifier uses 300B valves (times four) in an output transformerless design, producing around 1.5W.
Anyway, power supply is conventional CLCLC. I've built the power supply onto a tufnol sub-chassis so I don't have all of the mounting bolt heads visible on the finished amp chassis. Below are the main components laid out on the sub-chassis.

Chassis top plate was done with front panel designer via here,

Here's one of the chassis top plates starting to be populated. The power transformer is potted in a black shell and sits on top of the chassis. Power supply sub-chassis is held in place with the transformer bolt and industrial grade double-sided tape.

and one channel, almost complete. Just need to add one of Andrew's 6.3V supplies for the 12au7 then double check everything.
Next step will be the back panel (due from Schaeffer in the next couple of days). Should be able to start applying power and measuring this time next week. I'll need to get some 300Bs soon!

a load of old Shod!
Philosophers have only interpreted the world - the point, however, is to change it. No it isn't ... maybe we should leave it alone for a while.

In the latest edition of Tubes and Circuits, the SE 300B OTL Project has been switched to the Pinnacle PP 300B OTL!! So will you sell me your edition book?
