Parts Lists

  

  There are two parts lists for this amplifier design. The first list is the assembly parts list, and the second  is the purchase parts list.

   The assembly parts list itemizes each part in alphabetical order, there is a check box next to each part. It is recommended that this list be printed on paper. Check off each part as it is installed. This makes it far easier to keep track of your progress. It is especially valuable if you can't finish the whole board in a single session.

  The parts purchase list shows each unique part and the quantity of each that are required per board. Also listed are suppliers and part numbers for each part. It is used to order or gather up all of the parts needed to build a complete amplifier. Some parts such as tubes and transformers, are available in varying quality and power levels and they have their own page. The optional parts are covered on the upgrades page.

 

  This is the assembly parts list. It is used to assemble the PC board, and the complete amplifier. First go over the list to verify that you have all of the parts and they can be properly identified. Mark out parts that are not being used in your amplifier design. R1 is not used if you are using the optional power supply choke. Next make any corrections to component values for your particular build. The cathode bias resistors (R17 and R27) may be a different value in your amp. The power supply capacitors C1 and C2 may be different also. When you are finished marking up your assembly parts list, make a copy of it and use it as the check list when assembling the amplifier.

Purchase Parts Lists

   This parts list are used to order the parts that go on the PC board. These are the exact same parts that I used to build the boards used in the amps shown on this web site. You can use similar parts that are available from other vendors. It is important that you use parts that are similar in size so that they will fit in the PC board. Both of the vendors listed have full spec sheets on their web site so that you can find a similar part from a vendor in your location.
