Hood Amp Bridge

[Strelok]

Hell all you good people,

Thanks for the replies!

Nice things have been said about the chassis.
But it is too low, I cannot cover it.
And I cannot place the Power Transistors heatsink.

Plus there is a big hole on the side where the jacks are.


Ah well, I ordered a brand new chassis.

Here is another pick of the bridge placement:




Yes, maybe the thing will get too hot when soldering a turret.
I am using a TX giving 2 x 18 volts and the amp is running at 53 Volts, which is nice.



I did manage to build it on only two terminal strips:





So that was fun.


It is not working well though.
Low volume and when the input signal is lower you can hear a strange noise, af if you are tearing apart paper.

It could be a wiring issue.
And corrosion comes to mind like in another post. As if the signal has to struggle to come through.

It could also be that there was a slight meltdown in the diode bridge.

Or maybe soldered the socket of the Power Transistors for just a little too long.
Should have kept them out while soldering.

All in all easy things to check.

Bye all!
