Building Amp in Short Wave Radio body
« on: December 30, 2018, 02:32:06 pm »
I am trying to reuse as many of the old switches as I can- but some need to be replaced, I am making a simple 5f2a 5W amp..
When using slider switches, is there a certain amperage or voltage I should use?

Thanks for the info. This is not my first amp. I am ordering new switches and pots which is why I am wondering about the specs of these switches. I want to use slider switches on-on but don't want them to fry.

This is a basic Princeton amp. Super simple.
The only parts I am using are the gutted shell and the chassis. Everything is going together quite well.
