new to this :-)


Hehe, don't feel too bad. I have zero experience with solid state stuff,
so when I was told to build my trial projects in DBSF format, I was left
scratching my head. I laughed out loud when I was shown a "Dead Bug
Squashed Flat" project. This is your components laid out flat on a
perfboard and the wires run straight, point to point. It really does
look like a DBSF!!

I'm not sure how to do the tubes in a DB format, but everything else
should be straightforward.

"General Radio" used to sell tube sockets which were surface mount with
side terminals. I've looked high and low for some of these, but haven't
had any luck. They'd be ideal for breadboard tube projects.

cheers
