From AudioHobbyist.com

Built on a Hammond 12x8x3 Black Chassis

832A's

Another two day project. I went with a tube
rectifier and choke in
the power supply. It runs kind of hot, so for now I
am using a
Whisper Fan on it ... blowing that nice transformer smell
around.
The tubes are Dual Beam Power tubes with plate pins on top, and
go
in ceramic "Septar" sockets - all in all - very cool looking !
The amp
sounds nice - very clear and loud, not muddy.

I built this Darling for Tom Magalhaes of Tracy,
CA.
He says it sounds great on a pair of Lowthers, plenty
of volume
and no hum. He was amazed that 3/4 of a
watt could sound so
good.
If you're in that area, stop into his restaurant Magellan's
Restaurant

"Darling" 1626 Single Ended Triode Amplifier

3/4 of a watt per channel
12SL7 Driver - 1626 Outputs - SS
Rectifier
Completed 12/24/2005 (sold)
Inspired by
Bob Danielak's "Darling" design and Johannes G. LeBong's 5691/1626 "Darling"
amp.

Built on a surplus 16.5 x 3.5 x 4
rack mount
chassis

1626's and 12SL7 are
from Vacuum
Tubes Inc.

Output transformers are
Hammond 125E's from
Angela Instruments

High voltage power supply
and filament
doubler

Schematic made with
TubePad

1626's are from 1943 !

I built this bad boy in 2 days. The amp was

finished and just waiting for the tubes to arrive.
They came in the Christmas
Eve mail !
I washed 62 years worth of dust from the 1626's,
plugged them
in, and 12 seconds later this little
amp was playing and sounding very, very
nice !
Take a look at The
Darling Club for many great
and artistic examples of Darling
amplifiers.
I guess mine is very industrial
looking.

Dynaco SCA-35 Amplifier

about 17 watts per channel
7199 Drivers - 6BQ5/EL84
Outputs - SS Rectifier
Vintage: 1964

This bad boy sounds great
but runs pretty hot !
Note the fan.

I retubed this amp with a quad of JJ EL-84's and

put the 7199's from the recently stripped Heathkit AA-100 in
it.

DIYTube ST-70 Driver Based Clone Amplifier

about 35 watts per channel
12AU7 and 12AX7 Drivers - 7591
Outputs - GZ34/5AR4 Rectifier
Vintage: 2005
I finished this amplifier on
12/03/05
Update - I converted it to use 6BG6G's on 03/02/07

Built on a Yaeger Audio 17 x 12 x 2
black
steel/aluminum chassis

Heathkit AA-100 transformers
and a DIYTube
Driver Board

The power supply is built on a
turret board bought
on eBay when
CCA Transmitters went bankrupt

I replaced the crappy
tube sockets with better
ones
and converted to 6BG6G's

I bought a Heathkit AA-100 about 5 years ago, and
recently
decided to restore it. I bought a quad of JJ 7591's BEFORE I
saw
how nasty the output circuit board was in the amp. In fact, the
whole
design of the AA-100 turned me off to the project. I am
using a DIYTube
ST-70 driver board to drive the 7591's
and the Heathkit power and output
transformers and rectifier.
This amp sounds sweet ! Check out DIYTube.com

for great forums with plenty of friendly advice and
conversation.

Heathkit AA-151 Integrated EL-84 Amplifier

14 watts per channel
2-6EU7, 2-6AU6, 2-6AN8, 4-EL84/6BQ5,
1-GZ34/5AR4
Vintage: 1962?

It plays with a few buzzes and
hums and scratchy
pots

some new tubes and sockets
and capacitors will fix
that

I bought this on eBay a couple of
years ago, and haven't done much with it yet.
It doesn't sound too bad, but
the cheezy phenolic wafer tube sockets in the
preamp section have to go.
Someone did a little repair work on it already,
and the basic build isn't
bad. The basic design and chassis is decent.
On the SL-1200, Crosby, Stills
and Nash stolen from WMGM, 01/23/1973 - and it's not
too scratchy even though
it's been the test disc for my VW Bus Record Player !

Silicon Rectifiers
Vintage: 2005
Inspired by the "MiniBlok"by Fred Nachbaur and by the schematic at AudioHobbyist.com

Built on a recycled diecast
aluminum box - the
front panel
holes were there, hence the imbalance

Hammond 125CSE audio transformers

Angela Instruments
and some leftover
parts

This little amp sounds as good as my 2A3 amp and 300B
amp !
I have a pair of Klipsch KSB 3.1 speakers (96dB/1W@1M sensitivity) in
my bedroom,
and this little one watt per channel amp is way loud with plenty
of solid bass.
It doesn't have a conventional power transformer, instead, I
am using two 12.6 VAC
filament transformers in parallel, powering the two 13
volt .45 amp filaments
and a reverse connected 12.6 VAC > 240 VAC
transformer for the plate voltage.
I can hear a little bit of hum, so maybe
I'll add some more capacitance to the
plate supply. Except for the tubes
(eBay) and audio transformers (Angela)
I used parts I had from left over from
other projects. I guess the next project
will be to figure out why the other
amps don't sound a lot better than this one !

This ST-35 got me started with tube amps in about
1995.
I visited my friend Jim McCann, who was working at a radio station in
Pittsburgh,
and had purchased a Dynaco ST-70 and PAS from an ad in the
newspaper for about
$ 25 and cleaned up and restored them. The sound was
magical ! I told my late
friend Don Powers about it, and the next day he
showed up at my door dragging
this poor little ST-35 by the power cord. It
had once lived on top of the
transmitter of radio station WDVR (aka WEAZ and
WBEB) in the Roxboro "antenna
farm" in Philadelphia. I did some quick
repairs, with new Penta Labs 6BQ5's
(you could still buy them at Kearn's
Electronics locally !) and a pair of
7247's brought home from work. (haha
seriously) I replaced the bad can
electrolytic with a little circuit board
meant to replace the can capacitor
in an ITC Premium Line tape cartridge
machine.

Who needs Gold RCA Jacks and Gold 5 Way Binding Posts ! I just
hooked
this amp up for the first time in awhile and it still sounds
great.
I'd like to say goodbye to Dave Kurtz, founder and original Chief
Engineer
of WBEB, who passed away on Thanksgiving Day,
2005.
