LF: DECCA AMP

[<g3kevmal@talktalk.net>]

Chris

I do not have any spare amps but I think G7NKS/JIM has some units, maybe you could ask him.

If you look at the Decca 5501 info on the web you could build a copy which would be very reliable. It uses a bridge cct which most commercial manufacturers favour compared to push pull etc

See attachment of a similar amp that would be simple to build and reliable and give around 1Kw output. It is a standard cct nothing special about it. Where it says OUT1 and OUT2 use a series resonant cct for the freq of interest, similar to the Decca cct then a matching ferrite transformer to match the FET 8 ohms approx to 50 ohms.
