Telefunken RS329g

Now here's an interesting tube!!

The Telefunken RS329g.

Not as big as the RS6076 but much, much older.

A friend lend me one and asked if I could build an amp with it.

Sure, I said...

A lot of heating power

23.5V at 16 Amps......

Luckily I installed some LED light in my house.

So..

And real mechanics!!

I guess it's number 3519

As always the driver will be the 6EM7

the 2 potentiometers are used to find the ideal working point.

Saves the calculations :)

Well, that took a while.

But it's done.

A cathode follower this time.

I liked it from the head phone amp.

Diagrams to follow shortly.

Start with a nice mess...

The tube lights up bright white.

Not a mellow yellow.

This is serious business

Just have to clean things up a bit and put it in a box...

And find a second one for STEREO...

That might be a bit of a problem...
