The regulator current draw is from the feed resistor through the 0D3's.

Should not affected by the drivers or grids. According the original schematic...

Don't mean to be dense, but do you mean the 3.5K Ohm resistor feeding the first/top 0D3? This, too, had been replaced, but if it should have a higher resistance, I might have something in the parts bin. Has to be at least 20 Watts, as the 3.5K Ohm is that wattage.

YES~! The value is too low causing excessive current draw through the 0D3's.

The voltage across it times the 40 some odd mil you measured will give you dissipation.

The 0D3's are "Spongy" so when you raise the resistor the regulated voltage will come up a few volts, Which is fine.

You can try adding a 500 ohm or 1K in series with the 3.5K.

Hello. I am an audio enthusiast living in Japan. I can provide information on the DS-3000, specifically the crossover network diagram and component values that I have analyzed.

Hi, My name is Dan and although I have mostly collected, restored, and sold racked studio gear, I have a few pieces that really fall into the audiophile catagory. I will be listing them but I am not familiar with this system...Yet! Its coming. A few things I have, McCurdy transformer discreet broadcast quality phono preams(pait, Altec model 9842 (grey) same as Altec model 14, and all original Kenwood Model 700m.
Here's hoping you are OK Seth. I haven't seen you posting for a few months now.

Thanks for your genuine concern.
I simply have been fixing turntables and getting lots of hours playing in my pool (Florida).
May I ask how you are doing these days in this most- crappy world.

Hello! Thanks for the invitation, I'd be happy to participate, great idea. Just let me know the overall procedure and what format and source material. Cheers, Ken Swauger
Hi Dave. Restoring a Sansui 5500. My original fuse lamps measure 23.1mm overall. Looking for warm white LED replacements. Do you have the correct lamps or know the proper replacement? I found an eBay kit but wanted your opinion before ordering. Thanks, Paul @ PHD Vintage Audio Services
Bozak B 4000, 2 sets of crossovers, N101, N104 w/ original capacitors.
Several options for amplification: Dynaco Stereo 70, Dynaco 120, Pat 4, Hafler 200. Peachtree pre-amp w/tube, amp 200 watts? Carver amps, 1.5T, red diodes, 2 Carvers, w/view meters,

Dahlquist DCM 9 pair, DCM 7 pair, DQ 10. All need to have surrounds replaced.
Hey! Do you know the technical specs of the Technics SE A100 VU meter light bulbs? In the manual it appears as XAMS19P. See attached photo:img_3177-2048x1537.jpg

Thanks! I just bought from Japan a SE A100 and SU A200. I'm sure you have a lot of history about these two devices. I heard about the CMOS chips on the pre amp and the bulletin service to prevent killing the chips. I would really love you to share this information, thanks!

Only FET devices are the 2SK389 differential pair on the voltage amp board… there’s no ICs other than an op amp M5238P on current drive board. Pretty well all the transistors are bipolar.

Oh ok thanks! in the case of the pre amp, it has the the infamous uPD6364CA chips.
Hello sir. I am in need of a volume control for my AU-717. I have read that you have a solution or spare parts for sale. Any help would be appreciated
Looking for info on speaker batting. Im rebuilding a pair of ESS amt 1b's, the white stuff i pulled out was nearly dust and had to go. I see a few different types and would like to keep it as close to factory spec. Or am I crazy? Should I just pick out one and be done with it??
