Unless someone thinks differently, I cant see this being a big issue as the purpose of the thermal paste is to transfer heat, and this would include from areas of the trannie not quite contacting the heatsink in places? It appears that the trannies are mostly contacting the heatsink.....?Here is the new foot print.

I put a 25W 3.9ohm 5% resistor in mine and it works fine..Available at mouser or digikey..Do you think the lower wattage will matter if I just use it for testing and easy listening???
This is what I did for the binding post.....http://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/919-binding-posts-replacement.243497/True.
I have learned from you that you don't change from what's there!
The voltages were set both before I started and after I recapped but I never heard the board as I don't have a MC cartridge.
I don't think Sansui made a mistake in installing them, just that in the SM there is a difference between it and my model.
Someone else should have come across this other than just me.
Seems there should be a resistor change also. I will check skematic for other differences.
Also can anyone recommend binding post. I have some from digikey but don't like them. Yes I like the gold ones that can short out! I don't have access to equipment other than a drill
Dumb question, where to the volts at the output come from?
