You are an excellent teacher sir! Thanks so much for your time. I will definitely begin experimenting with this method using a, graph, schematic and a tube at the same time. You're right about how doing that really helps it sink in.
Thank you, glad to have been of some help. Valves are fascinating devices & an excellent way to get into electronics, as, compared to transistors, they are easy to configure. Once you get a basic understanding & have a play with some circuits, it gets easier to understand. TFW & Good Luck.
Hi, Thanks ever so much. I am beginning to understand it all a bit more now. Also like You I find building a test rig and taking measurements is not only useful but good fun as well. Best Wishes Jahmahrah
This was another really instructive video - you are a clever chap Andy! FYI I've just finished getting an early 1950s amp and pre-amp going again for the first time in goodness knows how long and was amused to see two terminals on the amp, connecting to the pre, for 6.3v and also two more for HT!!! Health and safety?
Glad you enjoyed it. Was it a big/long job? Aye, they had a different approach in them days. I wonder how many, or if there were any, casualty's amongst the public as a result? I do resent some of the modern practices that are overprotective. That & the fervent hysteria that ensues when someone doesn't wear PPE on RUclips. I think death & injury were just an expected part of life back then. Apologies, off on a tangent, cheers...
@@diabolicalartificer Hi Andy. It was totally original and most caps and some resistors were shot in both amp and pre. Biggest pain was that wiring was really dense and cramped and I had to restuff some electrolytics (which is a PITA as you know). It is a really nicely made thing with a choke, ecc40, ef40, kt61 x 2 and 5z4g. I suspect that there weren't substantially more accidents with audio gear as people who used it had more knowledge and common sense? Anyway I've been looking at the tuner and unfortunately the phantom bodger has been at work on it
@@BrumAdam Yep, some old radio's etc are a nightmare to work on, components crammed in everywhere & you have remove 10 to get at 1. Still, it keeps up busy, better than vandalising telephone boxes : ) TFW.

These are fantastic videos, the step by step creates a clear path to understanding. Thank you Sir!
Thanks, that's very kind, again, glad to help. TFW.

Yep, don't forget the fun : ) All the best, Andy.
great video Andy guru of valves
Bless you, I always wanted to be an aesthetic but haven't got the robes. Do I get to wear a funny hat? TFW : )
Thank you Andy, need to get building and experimenting! : )
No wuckers mucker. Knowledge is like water in the cupped hand, on a warm day. Be sure to drink it before it disappears. TFW : )

What stuff he is always smoking??.....it must be good!?.....thx for the vid
What a curious comment, but TFW anyhoo.
