ok, but the caps are a good idea right? only the electrolytics.
at the risk of sounding like a goon!! the transistors in this unit have not been changed in 34 yrs??? is there not an aging problem i have to worry about? it was recomended to change the trans,and zener diodes in the power supply board, but i guess i am confused of why that would not be recomended in the amp and protect boards. i understand the reason behind the cap replacement,,well the electrolytics that is. the unit does work good now but i would like to cover all bases before i put her into finall entertaining posititon
for a 3.3k metal oxide 2watt resistor. i searched mouser and cannot find a metal oxide resistor. is it considered a metal film now??
is there a link i am missing for the diode installation for pins 9&10 in the protect circuit??? also on the main caps, does anyone know the mouser #'s for the resistors that bridge the terminals? my manuall calls for a 3.3k metal oxide 2watt resistor. i searched mouser and cannot find a metal oxide resistor. is it considered a metal film now??
What is the diode? Mouser part number?
See it between pin 9 and 10
It's not particularly critical as long as it will bleed of fairly quickly, but not waste too much energy while the unit is on. EW uses 5.6 K 3 watt I think he said.
