Introduction  I   Design   I   Construction

A kit of all parts, and a construction manual for the Lamington Junior are now available!

The Lamington Junior prototype was constructed in a small (28cm X 19cm) baking dish allowing for plenty of room underneath for construction while making for a compact amp build. The layout for the transformers, valves and controls can be seen in this photo:

The M1112 output transformer was mounted underneath the chassis to eliminate any hum induction from the power transformer. Front panel controls are input socket, volume, tone and on/off switch with the AC input socket for the plugpack and speaker output socket mounted on the rear panel.

The Lamington Junior sounds great driving a 12″ speaker, but will happily drive a speaker from 8 ” to 12″. Ideally, the speaker should be 8 ohm impedance, but should be fine with any speaker from 4 – 16 ohms.
