 Hello everybody, welcome back to my channel. Let's see if we can get rid of that glare, not really, never mind you've got a bit of glare. Welcome back to my channel and this is my next, what, I say this is my next, this was actually the next kit to build. Part way through, just sticking all the resistors on, problem is I've come to one resistor where that says 8 to K and the actual resistor is 8 K2 and so I'm just waiting to hear back whether this is a scream issue or whether it's the resistor issue because I don't want to have to try and fix it if it's the wrong resistor. So, but this came through the post today so we're going to take a quick little peek at this. First of all, take a peek at this box because it's all part of it. And again, this box is open. I did, in actual fact I just put a couple of pictures up here because I opened up the box and but I made a right pig here out of it. Trying to get into it. So this one in here, we have the transformer, nice cables and copper screened. You can see that big, big iron core going through the middle and then just the transformer windings on one side and the windings on the other side. On the outside we've got, so we've got 240 volts, we've got two lots of 100, 115, so it's going to be 230 volts. We've put them in serial and then on the outside we've got 0 to 220 coming out at 68 milliamp and a 0 to 14 volts at 1 amp. So the 0 to 14 volts are going to be for the heaters and the rest of it's going to be for the plate and search on the amplifier itself. The pre-amplifier itself I should say because this is another pre-amplifier project. And off there, very nice. And here is our board. Lovely. We're up to the cellophane. Let's see what we've got here. I can tell you now it's a tube pre-amp. This one uses a couple of 12XAT7s and a couple of 12XAAX7s. Very nice. It does look very nice. It feels very nice. This one has also got some mounting points, which is nice. The other one that I just showed you a few moments ago, that doesn't have mounting points. Well, there's two, but they're in odd places. At least these are on the outside. So the board would go like this. Here's the 12XAT7 places and here's the 12XAAX7 places there. So yeah, that's going to be sweet. At least I hope it is anyway. I hope it is left out and right out here. There's another volume control and there's no tone controls on here. So I'll use a pot to adjust the volume on the input. I'll just use the up and down volume. That's probably going to be better. Oh, nice sealy bag. So we can see already some heat sinks for the board. There should be three of those. There are one, two, three. And they've got these. It's this nice big Nichecon 330 microphone. It's 500 volts. It's a nice big cap that is. Ooh, two large big caps, mate. And they've got these ones as well. These are audiophiler MKP Psycap 400 volts DC. Four of those. Got some more caps here. Vichay. Oh, no, they are the Vichay, yeah. So they're not skimping it. They're not putting the cheapest ones they can find on there. They're Vichay. They're not cheap. Cheap. Ooh, whatever. We've got here. So it is nice to see that they do want Samsung. They do want to... You know, obviously they know people who will be building these, maybe doing reviews and such. And so there's no point just sending that out of rubbish. That's another Samsung. And we've got here Nichecon. Nichecon Nikon. So all of these are the same, Nichecon Nikon. That's nice as well, because they're not a rubbish cap. That's not... That's actually ceramic, that is, you can tell. It's not... I've got some cheap plastic ones which don't feel anywhere near as substantial as what that does. There's some nice resistors, look at those. Oh, that's my cat. Right on by family. I think they're 120. The brown on the end means it's a 1%. It could be 120K. We'll have to look at that. So we've got our bridge rectifier there. It's a quite a beefy one. I can't tell, just by looking at it, what a... What a currency it is, but you know, it's probably going to be a... There's quite a chunky one, so it's got a couple of them. There's these caps. These caps here. And I believe they're either American or German. I can't remember which ones they are. But they're not cheap. They're not rubbish caps. This is... I can't tell. By looking at it, but I've got a funny feeling that they've spent some money on the other things. These are not going to be the cheapest. Nice rubbish. What we've got here, this is an L... LT-1085 linear. It says on there, I presume this... That's a different motor cover. That's a KZ... K2700. Looks like it's seen better days. Just looks a bit, if you look at the legs on that, just looks a little bit, you know. But, there you go. I presume this is going to be the complementary to this one here. Oh, it's 1075, so this is exactly the same thing. Got a little relay. And another one of those K2700s. I'll have to lock them up. So this is a 2K pot, but I do happen to have some bonds. 2K, so I'll stick a bonds one on in its place. Just because I've got them, I'm going to do that, not because it's... Because, you know, I'm hoping this thing is pretty good. And we've got a BC550, small signal transistors. I presume this is going to be its complementary. Oh, it's exactly the same BC550. There's two channels. I keep thinking I'm looking for a push-pull type thing going on. And, yeah, another one of these... I'm not sure what to make. It looks like Panasonic. It could be Panasonic. I don't suppose it's going to be any old junk. Yeah, so, I mean, without going through and counting all the components, matching them all up, I'm going to take a guess they're all going to be here. It's been a while since I've had... Well, saying that, I can only see three of these. Oh, that's because they're two together. I need four. So, yeah, that's it. This is the one that I'm hoping I can just build up. And we get it going. Yeah, the 120Ks was those one, two. That's what the 120K. Got a little insulator for the screws and the transistors or the MOSFETs, I think these are. Definitely MOSFETs. All right, so that's it, yeah. That's the next project. So, what I'm going to do then is I'm going to stop building it up and I'll come back to you.
