Exactly!And w/o exception every time there always an excuse explaining how it wasn't an insult because it's always done in a way thats crafted as to be explainable if the occasion reqires it as in this instance.
AMEN! (and ain't them resistors hard to keep lit?!) Damn, Barry, you must be as old as me!bnwitt wrote:We could all stand in a line and thank the guys on both sides. No Allyn Mey and no Asteroid layout. No Dana brother of Richie (another shameless sharer) and no VVR. No Richie (Brother of Dana) and no 18 watt. Thank you Dana. Thank you Allyn. Oh and yes, Thank you Richie, Kentucky and Mother of Dana and Richie. Sharing without reward is what has made the tube community so damned special since I can remember back to 66 when I smoked my first resistor. And no, it wasn't in a bong.
), I thank you and the others with brilliant minds that think up this stuff and continue to share with us solder junkies.Structo wrote:Once again, intent and context have lead to hard feelings.
Forums are twitchy things, sometimes it's best to use the little smilie things at the left to show intent.
I read the whole thread and I can see the issues from both parties.
In the end, Dana has always been helpful and hopefully will continue to be so.
Johnny I can see your point as well but sometimes when you question somebodies work they get their feelings hurt which can lead to further turmoil.
I would suggest that if you feel the mosfet is not safe having the drain connected to the heatsink tab, that you should buy the one that has no connection to it. That would ease your mind about having the high voltage there.
Dana, although I have not used your circuit (yet
Bob R uses those...~$22 at digikey and they use a clip system instead of a 4-40 through the body.Structo wrote:I would suggest that if you feel the mosfet is not safe having the drain connected to the heatsink tab, that you should buy the one that has no connection to it.
It's the planets, Pluto moved into Capricorn. All kinds of weird stuff happens.Wow, did this thread get crazy!
If it shorts out you blow a fuseiknowjohnny wrote:Whoa !!!! I had no idea the insulator was keeping B+ from ground ! In that case i wouldn't even consider using one of these unless i used a seperate heatsink that is not touching circuit ground. Maybe i'm over reacting, but no matter how reliable those insulators are, just the idea that it's all that seperates B+ from ground wouldn't allow me peace of mind no matter how convincing an argument i was given. If i were to use one i would now float a heatsink on a terminal strip or such and use that. tho it would be tough in a cramped amp.

I've installed the VVR in a few 50 watt marshalls, some fender bassmans,deluxes, a concorde type amp,and quite a few other amps. never had any problems.Is there anyone that has succesully installed this on a model 1987 Marsall 50 Plexi? Either Marshall or replica?
