alright, after looking at my amp I've figured out what I need to do to wire it according to the layout Stephen posted it. Its easier just to reverse the sides that the connections are on. that way I don't have to move the jumper wire. so the .01uf cap, the 220k resistor and pin 6 will be connected on the left. the carbon comp resistor, the jumper, and pin 6 will be on the right.

As i was making the moves something strange happened and the bottom/side of the cap with he lead attached just fell out. never seen that happen before.. probably too much heat/movement i guess. Anyway... could someone provide me with a link with a matching cap? I usually use mouser but their stock is so large I'm never sure that what I'm getting is the right thing.


Thanks guys. Happy holidays

NO NO NO!!! The 220k, the .01 MUST go to pin 1!!!!! The 220K that is connected to the jumper under the board will go to pin 6!!..

you're right. pin 6 to the jumper. my mistake that part is correct on my amp, i just mis-typed.

Another thing. The "under board jumper" must not connect to the 220k/.01uf turret no-way no-how!
You see if you wired all the components on the top of the board correctly according to the layout diagram AND you put the jumper(under the board) to the right hand turret...your screwed. You'll have to rewire the turrets so that the top end of that .01 goes to the turret that DOES NOT HAVE THE JUMPER!!! or rewire the jumper properly which I'd do!

right. the jumper is only connected to the carbon comp resistor and pin 6.

the 220k, .01uf cap and pin 1 are on the other turret.

Guess I'm kinda stuck until i get another cap.

I'm sure Stephen will send you one or I will ( if I have one,,,I'll check when I get home later) I'll look at mouser for ya.

That would be greatly appreciated. I took a look at the cap I have and mouser and I think these are a match?

630V
10% tolerance.
.01uf

there are so many options.

Ya those will work. I have a .01 Sozo I can send you. But it might be qiucker from Mouser. I'm on the west coast of Canada. Let me know.

oops, thought I replied already. I ordered the ones from Mouser. They should be arriving today, i'll get them installed and check back. thanks for the offer Stu.

the new part and layout did the trick. the amp works beautifully. It sounds great so far

Took a while but you did it!! You probably know the inside of you amp better that most !
Any ways... congrats and Merry Christmas.

yeah, it was a great learning experience. thanks for all of your help along the way stu.

merry Christmas
