« on: January 09, 2017, 08:52:56 pm »
   Is there a problem with horizontal mounting tubes in a Head or better to hang down?
Just finished amp, chassis made from recycled sign ,275-275 trans. & knobs from a EEG amp from auction used diode rec. this amp sounds so alive
Thank God for this forum!
First power up 60Hz hum was crazy out of control grounding problem located and repaired.
 Very quiet now!

Best way to mount in a head or does it matter was my question.

If I was going to fuse sec. side of power trans. what % above current should I size fuse?
