First a big thanks to swedish pioneer Åke Hedlund who helped us find this area. Pictures above are from the same run Forholttind N side, taken at different occasions. We skied this in the 80's early 90s 3 times , beware of avalanches and falling rocks, the rock isnt that solid. 1200 m skiable 30-45 degrees

Tube amplifiers

enlarge

This amp has gone to tube heaven after donating some organs. All the grey iron is from an old Bofors mobile artillery guidance unit found in a scrap yard. A gigantic output of 10 watts was achieved. Everything below the top box is the PSU with regulation in the middle.

After this I built an even heavier one that was impossible to move from the building site (kitchen) it sounded wonderful using two Transmitter tubes in SE class A. Unfortunately it only worked for 2 hours due to some glued parts that fell apart due to heat , that was when I quit building amps. I am still married to my wife despite these projects.
