Finished units
How do you calibrate?
Adjust trim and check what points for what voltage?

Read manual
I recommend connect low VAC to pcb, calibrate heater voltage (some where around 6.3V),  insert tube and calibrate exact value of 6.3V.  Then connect high VAC and measure voltage on output transformer.

Hi everyone,

wanted to give a heads up on the Mouser BOM in this first post:

The following parts are not on the BOM:
C9-C11 100uf/350V 647-UPW2V101MRD
R1  487K 660-MF1/4DC4873F

Also, heatsink 532-529802B25G is too big and doesn't clear D5, D6

HI some pics of my build.
I add some mod.
-Schaffener filter.
-Voltage select
-Ground lift switch
-Carbon film on the hammond 1402fv case.
-Neutrik powercone for the  power plug.

Nice job! Nice case! where do you get it?

My case:
http://www.mouser.fr/ProductDetail/Hammond/1402FV/?qs=%2fha2pyFadugSWhhUu568dECpNvhU%2fBJPYvJdy4QUt%2f%252bbEtGVbHTsAg%3d%3d

But I think this case will be better because you can put the power transformer on the back panel and for more space inside.http://www.mouser.fr/ProductDetail/Hammond/1402HV/?qs=%2fha2pyFadugSWhhUu568dA5XEQJPm010vxF31fvzHMmpo7%2fswd4gtg%3d%3d

The film for the carbon style.

And a 3M alu brushed for the panel.

Hello everybody!

Right now all rev1.1 pcbs is sold, that's about 30 kits.
That was cool to hear all that comments from happy builders who build PREDI'CT.

So I'm announcing rev2 pcb!)
It will contain some kind of improvements of the circuit, output pot will be changed with appropriate stepped 600Ohm bridge-T switch + tube will be located horizontally for easier fitting it to the proper inclosure.
They will be available in next month!

Cheers,
Igor

Garry,

What is the cost of the Rev 2 board kits?

I'm interested in building one of these guys.

Thanks!
Paul
