I built the FM3 and the PAS2 when I was a kid ;-)


I built more mean stuff when I was a kid. An amplifier with several big
horizontal flyback tubes in there etc. 900V on the plates, directly
cascaded out of 230V grounded mains, sans transformer because that would
have cost too much...

Actually I still got that amp but a typical 120V circuit is too wimpy
for it.

How could you build such an amp and not connect it to your available
230 volt 30 amp mains? It has to use less power than an electric oven!
