My what a score!

This is exactly what I needed. Thank you.

I didn’t keep a list. I just ordered the same or as close to the same value from PE that was listed on the old caps seen in the pics on page 1 of this thread. Remove the 3 old per x-over, replace with new, and solder them in. Super easy. Good luck!

Thanks. Me too! I had cleaned all of the switches and pots about 6 months ago at the time of the rebuild, and thought that it was going to be a much bigger problem.

:banana:

I cleaned the switches, and it is back to normal. I’m glad it was something easy. Whew!!!

It worked perfectly fine last night for the hour that I was using it. Today it is passing no audio from the turntable from either phono 1 or 2. It is only making that awful noise. The first thing I did was swapped out the tubes with a good set. It made no difference. The other channels still...

I have mine 10” - 12” (toed in) from the wall.

I disagree with that idea. Music makes everyday a special occasion at my house. I listen on my best gear; because, I deserve it. And, my ears know the difference. If it’s electronically sound, you must allow yourself to enjoy it. You deserve it.

I’ve put about 16 hours of play time in so far. It’s performing beautifully. :beerchug:

I set the bias to 40v, did the phase inverter adjustments, and installed it back into the Barzilay console for a test drive. It sounds great. Thank you, @larryderouin and @dcgillespie, for coming in my thread and helping guide a brother through. I appreciate you very much. I made this thread...

I finished installing the remainder of the kit tonight, powered it up to test on the bench, and success. It sounded great through the minimus 7s. Next I need to set the bias and phase inverter adjustments. But, I’m too tired to do any more tonight. Here’s how everything looks under the hood...

Me too, buddy! Major relief. I love this piece of equipment. And, I’ve never experienced that behavior before with my multimeter. Since it wasn’t warming up, I went looking for something to be wrong, and I thought that I’d found it. Thanks for watching...I’m only 1/2 way though with this job.

Jeez I’m a worry wart! So, the power supply and cathode resistors section has been completed. Now to finish up with the audio section and grid resistors.

And, plugged straight into the wall it warmed up quickly and started playing sweet music nice and healthy. Whew!!

Ok. I’ll give it another go plugged straight in.

I reconnected everything again. I have a 120v 150w bulb in the tester. Results with no sound being generated after 5 mins.

Thanks for your response, Dave. I just made a video. Maybe it demonstrates what I’m talking about better than my writing. When I powered up to test, I let it go for about 5 mins and no sound was ever generated. It never has taken that long before.

So...I’m getting continuity from ground any time I connect R68 (original part) and C22 (it’s one of the new one’s) together back into the circuit from their non-grounded end leads. They do both go to ground on the opposite end. But, when I check either of the non-grounded lead ends separately...

Initially it’s off. Then it starts brightening up, and stays illuminated. I’ve been poking around with my DMM. And, there seems to be a ground connection being made somewhere between the white wire that connects to the terminal that joins the bias adjust, and is present all of the way through...
