Hi AK members
I decided to power on my dyna SCA 35 tube amp.
It looks original (maybe the power transformer has been re-routed) in the past, by another person.
So I take out all the tubes ( no one tube on amp)
I take some voltage readings on it, with 3 different wall VAC voltages, with a buck transformer.
112 VAC on the Wall:
heaters secondaries: 5.5 VDC
B+: 380 VDC
118 VAC on the wall
heaters secondaries: 5.6 VDC
B+: 410 VDC
127 VAC on the wall
heaters secondaries: 6.2 VDC
B+: 450 VDC
If the B+ are ok (within scheme), the heaters are too low.
If the heaters are fine (6.2 VDC), the B+ are too high
What can i do with this amp?
I would appreciate your help
Thanks you all
