locating parts for Express

[aaronz28]

well - i'm off and running building my Express...

although not very far - i'm not going to obsess over unobtanium, but i'd like to get as close as readily available parts will let me -

so......

who got what? and who wants to sell stuff?

mainly looking for the caps and pots and any nonstandard resistor

message or email me

In the trainwreck files section there is a sticky that has a bill of materials complete with suppliers.

The bom does not include pots or components, or the lamp.
Unless i missed that somehow...

[aaronz28]

Nevermind. Missed the tabs

Thanks!

The lamp is Part PH15 on the BOM V2 available from Mode Electronics. The pots are PEC, Part PP1 for the Mid, PP2 - PP4 for Vol, Treble and Bass, and PP6 for the Presence. All available from www.TubesAndMore.com

Aaron,

I sent an email note to you. I have most of what you'll need or I can maybe lead you to it.

thanks,

At that price grab a spare! They are a little delicate...

I bought some yellow mode lights and when they arrived they were minature versions of the size TW uses. Don't remember where I ordered them from though. So I have a drawer full of small green/red/yellow mini mode lights.

Aaron, good luck finding the CDE 0.1!! those are nowhere to be found!! I luckily picked some from a member here.
Also TC78 mallory 40uF are hard to find but....you can still find Cornell Dubilier american made 40uF which are a great replacement and you can still find the TC75 which is the 20uF!!


good luck hunting parts!!

I can get the TC Mallory's but they are about $150 a set these days... I haven't decided whether or not not to stock them anymore. If enough people want them we can do it. However, there are a lot of good options that are much more affordable. I've also grown pretty fond of the JJ can caps... they really clean up a Wreck power supply. In the archives you'll find a note from Allyn Meyers where he says "The Tech Caps seem to sound exactly the same" (as the Mallory's)... these are my personal favorites. https://tubeamparchive.com/viewtopic.php?t=6345

I haven't heard an amp with Nichicon's yet but I think they would be worth a try.

CDE Mallory PVC601 0.1uF are probably out there but I haven't found them. I do have good reports to offer on the Orange Drop Polyester Sprague coupling caps and you can find them.

I used the Tech caps in my Express build obtained from RJ and I have no complaints... the amp sounds great!
