Thanks for the document - makes it idiot, er Uncle Paul proof. I plan on recapping/replacing diodes/transistors if the V-FETS are good. Probably will anyway as this one is cosmetically very good, and in the event of a bad V-FET would be looking for a donor unit. Having heard this one, I can't see doing without.
I do have the electronics training as a tech, but it was almost 20 years ago. I plan to build up to the B-2 by recapping an electronic crossover, then going through a couple of amps I have that need attention, then recapping an M-2 I just got. Mostly, just a bit of refresher to retain some skills like desoldering and soldering, use of test equipment, etc..
Makes sense. I figure if the V-FETS are good I'll start with the transformers and work forward.
Thanks tremendously for your input and suggestions!
So are your fets still good ?
