Great job; that cleaned up nicely.
Nice shop man, are your sockets ok and of good quality? If so, just reflow all the joints. He, I said joints.
Correct. Good luck finding a positive common can, however.
In both the 222C's I have restored I have only done the 4x 20 ohm routine because it was most similar to the 18 ohm resistors that were already there (although I wish I had remembered to use 2 watters on the second amp instead of 1 watters which get almost too physically hot for comfort). With this method, at least the last time I checked, I had exactly 48 volts feeding the string of filaments of the 4x 12 volt pre-amp tubes.
While running the 12AX7 at -48V/12V each on the heaters will not harm them it is not how Scott ran them. More like -44/11V each. It does change the character of the sound and the gain of the 12AX7's...
--snip--Any more tips for me, Craig? :scratch2:
Philip.

1) I thought you said you just got new tips!
2) I don't how you can stand having that amp apart for so long. My memory's not that long.
3) And, thanks Craig! :thmbsp:
