With a baby around, I was forced to remove most of the valve equipment. However, the return of the Jedi is closer than you expect. With very little time, albeit at continuous pace when I get a free 30min here or there every weekend, I keep very focused on my objective. The 814 SE monster amp is close to retirement (probably before Christmas) and although I have a fantastic LME amp already working, I need to get the valves back on the scene providing I can prove I&#8217;ve complied with &#8220;heath and safety&#8221; &#8211; as my wife well put it.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I had a nice attempt of a wooden frame made out of pine wood. Yes, I&#8217;m really bad at woodworking but I&#8217;m getting better. The top plates are 4mm thick. I have added a nice set of 2 100mA meters at the front of the frame. A 300VA custom-wounded multi-tap HT transformer from JMS which gives me full flexibility from 100 to 500V in 25V steps. The supply is choke input (LL1638) and filtered with a set of nice 50uF oil caps and 20H chokes. Damper valves used with some nice SiC to form a hybrid rectifier.<\/p>\n<p>Top plates are protected with paper before drilling!<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"840\" data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:1,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.bartola.co.uk\\\/valves\\\/2015\\\/11\\\/22\\\/flexible-ht-supply\\\/&quot;,&quot;likes_blog_id&quot;:35997060}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 840px;
