    Power Section filter cap question

    The amps (guitar tube amps) that I've built have been single ended and 20 microF (uF) were generally the highest value I've used. I've just received an unmolested Mag 9304 and I'm going to remove the current Cap Can from the power circuit and re-cap. This amp has a 5u4 rectifier and the first...

    Magnavox CR192 FM tuner help..

    Hello there folks, I just pulled this cr192 from an old and heavy chassis to give it a look over but I can’t seem to figure out how to make it work. The fish eye bulb lights up and so do the tubes so I’m hoping that it’s working but I can’t say for sure because the CR197 SW tuner that it came...

    Dgse1 ultra linear

    Hey everyone, I've built a couple tube amps in the past but finally ended up pulling the trigger on building a dgse1 since I've heard mostly good things and love the sound of the maggie 8601 I suped up. I changed a few things from the schematic but mostly just the power supply to adjust the...

    resurect magnivox 142xx

    I came across a magnivox 142aa and a 142cc. Does someone know the basic steps to get these amps working outside their original consoles? There is an input connector to which the original console would have connected and through which switches and pots would have been connected. Does someone...

    8802 tube swap 6EU7 to 12AX7 and grid voltage

    EDIT: [SOLVED] the problem was that I was counting pins backwards, i.e., I was reading the pin-out diagrams as though they were top views instead of bottom views. TL;DR: First project. Swapped 6eu7 for 12ax7 (with DIY adapter) but I'm getting 80VDC on the grid and don't know why. I'm...

    Time to Replace Power Transformer in Magnavox 8802?

    My Magnavox 8802 has been fully recapped and new resistors all around. It sounds great but there is some tar leaking from the (original) PT, only a very small blob at the moment, and a vibration that is emanating from the transformer. The vibration is pretty noticeable in a quiet room. Should I...
