I recently got some surplus silver plated copper straps, entirely for 
free. They came from a large power generating plant, that had its whole 
exciter system replaced. But these strips might be a little large for 
use in the plate tank of a tube amplifier: They are 40mm wide, 5mm 
thick, with nicely rounded edges, and the silver plating is very thick, 
seems to be like 0.2mm! They are good for about a kiloampere.

They will become part of my watercooled Mosfet amp, as base plates of 
the water blocks.

Manfred.
