So
you all know Dickie, if not check him out here; Dickie Fredericks.
Dickie had some mod ideas for the DVA Ninety I sent him,
so we began to plan a Dickie Fredericks Model.
Although previous Ninetys have
used 6L6's, I have always intended to go with EL34's
as my primary valve choice. So I gathered up some
Mercury Magnetics transformers,
specifically the MP100-67 power transformer, this one puts over 500
volts on the plates
and should give us plenty of clean headroom, and the O100JM output
tranny;
you just can never have too much of that vintage plexi vibe!
Dickie wanted a little more control of his volume so we are
adding a "MORE DICKIE" knob.
As the current Ninety chassis doesn't have enough room for one more
knob on the front panel I
pulled a proto chassis out of the closet and started drawing.
So here we are. Time to punch the chassis and get going.
Stay tuned as I'll be documenting the entire process.
