I got 4 HTS-8074's on my doorstep today. Did everybody else get theirs or did I get all four?.....Colin

Nothing here; they got confused somehow or other.

I'll keep them until Tuesday [message #30452 is a reply to message #30450] Fri, 11 February 2005 11:44 Go to previous messageGo to next message

If I got all 4, then that's not a problem. I'll just send them out to you guys. I'll give it a couple of days to get sorted out.

Now if FedEx could just find my house, I'd be happy. My order from Angela has been in Cincinnati for a couple of days riding around on a truck......Colin

They look very nice. Very professional job.

They weigh about 5-6 pounds per. I was a bit freaked out when I picked up the box, since I was only expecting one.

Yes, I am happy with them.

Questions:

1) Is it possible to use these in our amp build. I really hate to send the extras back if we're going to use them later on. Can you design an amp around these? If so, I'll keep them. I know Heyboer is a small company and I really hate to see them eat the cost. They were doing us a favor in the first place.

2) There are lost of pretty wires hanging out of the Tx. Is there a conventional color scheme for the secondaries?

......Colin

HI Kids,
I got mine today, just one.It's very nice, about 6-7lb, Plenty big enought to run 1 or 2 ity bity tubes.
I do think they would be large enough to run a pair of amps, there rated for at least 100ma.

As for the secondarys
Yellow 5V, green 6.3V
AT 122VAC (black)
Red/yellow= CT, Blue/red 262VAC, Blue 340VAC, Red 422VAC.
...John

I hope that`s possible - various taps and 100mA capacity can be good for mono 2A3 SE amp with B+ of about 305V/70-80mA (LCLC probably). I started working on the prototype, but I`m slow and don`t have too much time (work...), but one of these years I`ll post the full "story" with pictures in color, step-by-step instructions, etc...
Stay tuned

Green = 6.3V?? [message #30463 is a reply to message #30458] Fri, 11 February 2005 13:54 Go to previous messageGo to next message

I thought we got a 12.6V secondary.?????......Colin

No it' 6.3VAC CT. Remember It is designed as a rectifer winding.
We can run the 12V sig tubes off it but the plan was to use a separate filament supply...John

Well, you can sort them with an Ohm-meter.

400-325-250-0-250-325-400 will all have continuity. that's 7 of the many.

The 5 and 6.3 are going to be near 0 Ohms( and I think youse got them center tapped, so the remaining pair of three wires with common continuity will be the filament windings). If I remember correctly, and the filament windings are CT, then the only single pair continuity will be the line/input.

Apply votlage to this one slowly with a pigtail and a Variac and confirm voltages with a *FEW* VAC input at first. You don't want to try putting 120V on a 5V winding...

Make a drawing and record your measurements. Don't loose the drawing!
regards,
Douglas
