Title: New OTS 183 Post by: MrGoldTop on January 15, 2011, 01:42:08 AM Hello All,
Joined in November and haven't had much to contribute here. But, I purchased an OTS 183 (50W) from Nik completely unassembeld and just finished it. Maybe it's my geezer ears but this amp sounds great with only about three hours playing time on it. Thanks to all members who contributed build information and photos. They helped immenesly. And thanks to Nik for a great product. Hope to be a regular here from now on. BTW my avatar will be updated as soon as the 183 cab arrives.

Title: Re: New OTS 183 Post by: MrGoldTop on January 15, 2011, 05:16:29 AM Sure. Here ya go. I'm afraid the lead dress isn't up to snuff in some places but it fired up fine on the first try.
The tube shields are on now. I was still jockeying preamp tubes around in this shot. Title: Re: New OTS 183 Post by: mcinku on January 15, 2011, 06:44:28 PM Building amps is fun isn't it... sometimes I would like to buy an amp just to be able to build it... :-\
BTW I like your dummy load... it looks like it can handle some serious power. ;) Title: Re: New OTS 183 Post by: MrGoldTop on January 15, 2011, 08:15:29 PM Nothing like building your own. I'm ready to build anotherbut I don't have room. Time to sell something I guess.
I was wondering when someone would notice the dummy. 200W @4 or 16 Ohm; 100W @8 Ohm. I built it for the JCM800. It's got KT88's. |
