One of the best tools in a homebrewer's arsenal is a good library. A complete set of Ham Radio on CDs is available for about $50 if you know where to look. A set of QEX would be useful, too. When yo

Rex answered your question, but there's another factor to keep in mind, and that's the insulation breakdown voltage of the transformers. Assuming both have the same secondary voltage, Vsex, when you

Especially seeing the OP's results, I sure wouldn't do this! Taking shortcuts too often leads to serious trouble. IMO, if you want to clean it to pristine condition, the _only_ safe method is to comp

The best way to learn about amps is to build a few. Two books I found useful as a non-engineer were Demaw and Hayward's Solid State Design for the Radio Amateur, and John Lenk's Handbook of Simplifie

Peter, Think of it as an Ohm's Law problem, with parallel resistors. If you have one resistor and a certain requirement for current flow through it at a specified voltage, when you add a second paral

Meant to check for a brand name when I went shopping, but forgot. Supermarkets sell spray bottles of 'surfactants,' which are non-toxic and biodegradable. They don't foam like detergents. I've used t

Yeah, but that stuff has aromatic ingredients. Unless you rinse well your amp will stink like Peppy Le Pew. Non-aromatic surfactants are sold in supermarkets. http://consumer.simplegreen.com/cons_pro

It's worth keeping an eye on the Bay. If you're willing to buy in bulk you can often find 12- or 24-V rf relays designed for PCB mounting pretty cheap. If wireless communication is cutting away inter

This is worth restating for first-time amp builders: Check the break-down voltage rating of the resistors you plan to use for bleeders. Most resistors capable of dissipating the wattage will withstan

Is this test method valid for wirewound resistors? Also, my intuition is that a resistor that will withstand X volts at room temperature may not hold up at higher temps. It's clear that the only way
