Hello from Indianapolis » helping a friend with a Champ

[xefned]

I swore I would never dive into the world of high-voltage tube amps, even though it's always intrigued me. But the expense and high-voltages made me stick with solid-state circuitry for decades.

Then a friend and neighbor brought over a box of failed amp projects. I said, "we can probably get that working…" and here is where the adventure begins.

Inside the box was a 5F1 board with clipped wires. (Also chassis and transformers.)
Here I am desoldering all the components to better add wires...

Glad to have found this forum!!

Welcome to the Hoffman Amps forum

There are many different boards on this forum for different topics.

The Tube Amp Building - Tweaks - Repairs board is where you can post amp questions.

That board is listed here.

Thanks Doug! That was just my introduction and description of how I found myself here in the world of tubes. :)

Glad to be here! (Modified my title for clarity.)
