All,
Thanks for the compliments!
>What happened with your relay to transformer clearances?
>I have a spec-4 that had the caps and relay rammed into the chassis/transformer...
The Omron MY-02 is a tight fit in my case, I've got maybe 1mm of air.
>not many original parts left...
Indeed, just the connectors, bias diodes (all were intact!) thermistors and off course the inductor, see picture.
>No ceramics----EXCELLENT!
I replaced all with MKP or Mica, not for reliability but for sound.
Also replaced the Polyester caps with MKP, I don´t want to start a thread about the sound of capacitors, but ceramics and polyester are ´not done´ in high end audio, and it´s a very small extra investment.....
Has anyone ever searched for a replacement for the mains relays and found something suitable?
Next project will be a PL630 with just about all electronics problems I could find in the various PL630 threads.
regards, Peter
