[EL34]

I would like to get 2 with the pre-drilled holes, please.

Do I watch your catalog and wait to order, or can I pre-order them now?

Thanks, Ken

Hi ken,
I'll announce here when I have them in and ready to order

[EL34]

4 blanks left if I have counted right

[Ed_Chambley]

4 blanks left if I have counted right

I think you are right on count, but what I need some other stuff.  Should I just order it at the same time from you?

You know when chassis are needed so are turrets, eyelets.  BTW, I have never used it, but a LOT of folks really like your 18 watt iron.

[EL34]

Thanks Ed
The 18 watt iron is Heyboer iron and I get them from Mojo
Mojo is the major Heyboer distributor

I sell them at the 100 piece price, so it is cheaper to buy Mojo stuff from me than it is on the Mojo web site
I have a deal worked out with them on that

The same thing goes with anything you see on the Mojo site
I can get it for you guys way cheaper

[kagliostro]

 

I really hope you open a branch on this side of the pond

or Italy change the policies of import from the USA

I also noticed that there's a couple things on the Mojo site I need too...nothing real expensive, but why pay shipping twice if I don't have to ....are the chassis getting drop shipped from Mojo?

How should I proceed?.....I don't have a ton of stuff to order, but I figure it might look good if they see buisness coming from here..... I have never ordered from them before now.

I send stuff to Europe and the Uk all the time
But I don't remember having anything going to Italy
Must have some tough import duties

Just give me the Mojo items numbers and I will add them to my weekly Mojo stock order
Use their 100 piece pricing as your price


If they are small items, the shipping will not be much if you pick first class shipping
no need to wait for the chassis to arrive here

Doug,
I get confused easily so I need to ask.  If I want to get something from Mojo I can include the number on a order to you and you will sell it at the 100 count price?

Is it limited to certain things or anything?   No woodshop? Correct.  Guitar parts?

Just amp parts

[EL34]

I'll have to ask Andy about cabinets

I think it applies any of the items they they have in stock and are ready to ship that day.


Cabinets and stuff are a different shop and have a long wait before they are done


yes, you can email me with the mojo item numbers but if I don't already stock it, I would have to put it on my next stock order to save some shipping cost.
Of course I can just order it that day and get it coming but I would have to tack on the shipping cost
Other wise, I won't add extra shipping cost if I can do it as part of my regular weekly stock order


Mojo is in NC also and I get stuff in one to two days from them, so the shipping timeframe is very short

[Ed_Chambley]

EL34,
Do you have a DXF file of the chassis you are making.  The flat inside, front and back?

[EL34]

Andy at Mojo has that
That is the property of Mojo and something he does not give out because of all the work he put into it

[Ed_Chambley]

That is cool.  I usually can get the PDF from them and they normally do not secure it.  I can make an editable from that.

I like it. And if I were to build a 6V6 amp I'd consider buying it. But, even though the 9pin socket adaptor is a good idea, as far as only having to stock one type of chassis, there is something to be said about the clean look of not having to use an adaptor. To me that would always bug me, having to cover up an oversized hole with an adaptor. Personally I'd like a chassis with 9pin socket holes, because then I could drill them out bigger if I decide to go with 6V6. But that's just me some people wouldn't want to have to deal with that and don't mind an adaptor.
 I built an amp with a 6V6 and decided to swap it for another tube and had to use an adaptor. It urks me every time I look at it, It just looks wrong. I see it as covering up a miskate. I don't think I ever get used to it and was actually considering redoing the chassis for a while. There's nothing wrong with it, I just personally don't like it.

I dunno I guess I like the cleaner look of no adaptors, but if you're only going with one style I guess that'd be the way to go. Honestly, I might buy it for a 6V6 amp but I would not buy it for a EL84 amp.

[jojokeo]

"Personally I'd like a chassis with 9pin socket holes, because then I could drill them out bigger if I decide to go with 6V6."

That's only part of the reason I want no holes for mine. Everyone should own a step drill bit anyways. After all, this chassis is for an EL84 based amp so the holes should be sized for those to begin with.

[EL34]

It's taking a long time for Andy to get the chassis


He says that I should have them around the 10th of November


I'll post back when I have an exact arrival time

[Ed_Chambley]

Alright, I have iron and parts.  What is up, you guys still mining?

[EL34]

Supposedly Friday or today is the date they arrive at Mojo



I emailed Andy to see what's up
I'll post back when he replies

[EL34]

Andy was away for a few days.

I just got an email from him.
He said he was going to have a firm ship date for me later today
Cross your fingers

[EL34]

Email from Andy

Ok we will be shipping to you either Friday or Monday.

[EL34]

Andy says the chassis are shipping today

If they really do ship today, they would be here tomorrow

I'll keep you guys poste

[DummyLoad]

was the mojotone TW-35 output xformer on the ship list? or should we do that on a separate invoice?


--pete

[EL34]

No, Andrew is going to ship it to me free as soon as he gets it.
I don't think they sell many of those
You may have gotten the only one they had on the shelf

[EL34]

Got the order, thanks Pete

[DummyLoad]

too bad - it's an excellent sounding OT. i highly recommend it for Deluxe and "Super" Deluxe type amps.


you're welcome! 


--pete

[EL34]

Andrew said that Heyboer is shipping them some
Not sure what the hold up is
Probably was not on the shelf and heyboer has to wind them

[EL34]

Got the order Ken Moon, thanks

[EL34]

Got the order Doug- terminalgs, thanks

[EL34]

I got the UPS tracking number from Mojo. The chassis will be here today
I just added the chassis to the top my chassis page here at the special forum price of $39
http://hoffmanamps.com/MyStore/catalog/parts6.htm

I will be upping the price as soon as you guys get yours
I don't have any pictures yet
I'll have it all set up better once I get the chassis here, but for now this will let you get them ordered

The parts number is
ChassisStout1 for the blank chassis
ChassisStout2 for the punched chassis

This is the list I have so far so I can keep track of who wanted what

I received orders from
2 blank - 2 punched - Dummyload
2 blank - jojokeo
1 punched - terminalgs
2 punched - Ken Moon
2 blank  - 2 punched - Ed Chambley

I have not received orders from
1 punched - lego4040
-------------------------------
If I have the counts correct
6 blanks sold
8 punched sold

[Ed_Chambley]

Damn Douglas, you better get me out of the bolded area.  What ya gonna do is someone doesn't pay, you gonna send your Hillbilly Hitman?

[EL34]

No bold for you


No one comes to the door, you just loose the $39 initial offering price 
Probably gonna move the price up to $45 later today

[EL34]

[DummyLoad]

package received today. quality stuff. thank you!

i measured the temolux PT today. looks like i need to shave about 75-80mils total to fit: 100mils to clear any tolerance variations.

doug, any word on that tw35 OT from mojo?

thanks,

--pete

[Ken Moon]

Early Xmas 

Thanks, Doug - now all I need are a couple of 18watt PTs 

[EL34]

Got em in stock ken and discounted
http://hoffmanamps.com/MyStore/catalog/parts1.htm


Pete,
I'll email Andrew at mojo again

[terminalgs]

My order arrived today. Great chassis. I'll be ordering another!

[EL34]

Let the projects begin


I'll be doing a Stout in mine and document that build

[kagliostro]

Ciao Doug

At DIYItalia we are starting to draw a layout for the board of this amp

http://www.bensykora.com/7cylinder.html



that will be based on your chassis, it seems it will be a perfect fit (better than original)

Franco

p.s.: I sent a pair of Vox schematic (after the refiniment of Vox AC15 schematics, did you received it ?)

[EL34]

Thanks Franco
Yes I uploaded your Vox schematics

[rlh5599]

Hey Doug,
I been following along here and on FB...  Did I miss the intro price?  I'd like a punched chassis, and I'll order some parts too, to save on shipping...
Ralph

[EL34]

Hi Ralph,
The punched chassis are all gone, I'll have more in a week at the $45 price

The special deal was only for those that stated what they wanted before they arrived

I did not make anything on those special deal chassis
I have to pay the bills on any sold from now on

[rlh5599]

no worries, gives me a chance to figger what parts I need without being in a rush..
Thanks!

[Ken Moon]

Here's a pic of the new chassis with 18watt iron (the choke is a Mojo 6V6 amp choke, it looks just like the Weber W02299. The Heyboer HY02299 (open coil, 9H/120mA/125R) will also fit the mounting holes.


I'm going to start with a 6V6 version of the DaisyCutter by Randy Fay (Phaez Amps), with the obvious changes to use 6V6s:


I'll be putting it in a heads-up combo similar to this old prototype cab:


with cosmetics that look something like this (different front panel of course)


I'll post progress (and probably some questions) in a separate build log post.

Happy Thanksgiving, all
