Wizard Built Amp

[bighammer]

most of his amps are under built and under transformered.

Not to mention a 24kw amplifier using what looks like 1/2" hardline. At least 7/8 or even better 1 an 5/8" . Just saying

Besides no safety choke, ( the safety choke should be after the load cap). Also no glitch resistors? I always put them in. That blocking cap is a 14 or 15kv cap. makes me wonder what DC plate voltage is. That transformer looks really small. The rectifier circuit aint bad, but running that many in parallel. One is sure to have a slightly different loss than others. The one with less loss will end up taking the most current. Expect it to pop. For something big like that, I'd use 10 amp diodes and do a big long string. For that size tube and the abuse i am sure it will be given, I wonder if that blower is really right for the tube. Just a thought. Thats what i started with, but im sure there are a few other details.

You must have some good eyes OM. For me the video was grainy/fuzzy. I agree about the blocking cap rating. I bet hes got 8k-9k volts supplying the tube. The 3cx3000f7 I have in the works for 10-160 is going to run around 5100volts.

I am familar with the Sprague/vishay PE100 doorknobs. I have several here laying around that is how i know what it is and roughly what voltage rating it is.

So you say the 3000 you have built, the crusher box is better built than a wizard?

 

[jtgun]

One that is not talked about, eagle made, somewhere up north looks very good

All i said was his has alot of missing safety features. You get what you pay for.

Don't worry!! We'll all hear it when it is fired up! Should cover a WIDE section of the HF
spectrum!!!
hahaha

????????? ok then ?????????

 

[jtgun]

How bout put up pics off flckr inside and out of your crusher maybe folks can see your work

 

[Mudfoot]

I'd like to see decent pics as well.

 

[Crusher]

I'm trying to figure out who you are. Since you seen my stuff on Flickr.com, post a link.

 

[Crusher]

And yes, Eagle Made has some nice stuff.

 

[jtgun]

Flickr crusherbuilts photo stream, not a link ,why should I put it up ?its your box

 

[trucker]

????????? ok then ?????????

Maybe I should have added, it should cover a wide part of the HF spectrum
ALL AT ONCE!! In other words, it'll probably be broad as a barn.
(a splatter box as someone else stated)
