What a great job! Thanks for posting this. Great phonos.
I brought my PAT5 back to life after 30 years in my garage. There were several open caps on the main boards. After replacing those it worked, but the phono inputs were too noisy to use. I replaced the power supply with the PAT5PWR kit from Updatemydynaco. The phono boards were a challenge. I looked at kits on eBay that offered all the caps, but that didn't seem like it would make that great a difference. Then I saw another kit on Updatemydynaco. This was a new phono board for the PAT4. I contacted Dan to see if that board would work in the PAT5. He gave it some thought came up with some changes to adapt it to the PAT5's power supply. I installed it and it sounds great. It dead quiet. It's not completely Dynaco but I'm very happy with it.
