Need a pic of the back of your amp. If it's quasi comp the bottom row of transistors is different than the rest...

I would like to be sure before turn on...
Well if unsure, you should only populate the bottom row. If you do not know if it works, powering up with all transistors in could be a very expensive trial and error experiment.

The amp will work with only the bottom row in it for test bring-up purposes.

Of course, it will be a very expensive error...

In a quasi comp amp such as yours, bottom row is RCA410 in each of the 4 columns


That row is sufficient for initial bring up.

Each row above that should be MJ21196 if you are planning to upgrade your output transistor devices from the original PL909 transistors that Phase Linear used.

Gepetto,

Sorry for my poor English or for my bad explanation, but the pics below (1 & 2) are those of my Phase.
And the third is from the Web.
The last one is correct ?

I know the row but I not the position (rotation).
I found the 3) and I checked the Serial Number, it's the same serie of mine.

I've replaced the Driver board from Joe and output trans. also.
Before to fire up I prefer to be sure of the marker position...
