Can you check continuity/resistance of the windings make sure it’s not dicked?

Take a reading across it, spray it with some cleaner and gently work it see if it’s making contact and what it reads. Maybe note where it is roughly now so you can start in the ball park.

Having the same issues which are even worse now that I’ve gone three way with the big carver, Tim and Linda... picked up some transformers but initial results are not promising. I have to finish making cables to really give them a fair shake. Following with much interest.

There’s a course trim pot which affects both the 33&45 pot also so the actual value of those trim pots likely has some wiggle room. To me the issue would be trying to keep things visually original. I did repair one of mine with a pencil lead for a wiper. Works fine, I set it in the middle then...

Sparkle pony master charge

I lost mine in an horrific canoe explosion

It’s beveragè time though. I’ll tell yas a story of a cocksucker tried to pay me $10 for honing three cylinders and extracting three stainless bolts from an aluminum casting exposed to salt water another night.

290 no load, my field of knowledge is more based toward mechanical engineering, I knew there must be math to fix this

Shortage or cuz commiefornia? Hell, I can make a couple phone calls and I’m sure we could have 15k rounds of .22 sitting on the table and im a fucking de-balled no guns leaf...

I blew a fuse in Linda (400/1) and replaced it. Was too lazy to bring the dim bulb over and nuked a pile of stuff I shouldn’t have...

Or .22 short if it has original AGX fuse holders.

.22LR

Was looking at those transformers today, not sure 350/0/350 is correct? I’m getting ~290vac from the good winding no load/diodes lifted. Won’t 350/350 be too spicy? The filament winding is 6.3vac and good. The schematic specifies 515vdc after the diodes...

Electrons don’t care what colour the wire is so long as they get where they gotta go. Amp is old enough to fart dust, who knows what colour wires are in it now if it’s been serviced along the way and I bet PL employes smoked a ton of the devils lettuce...

I’m too full of beer and mom’s spaghetti to be much use. I’d identify where those wires go to on the back plane. There’s only three options, I’m pointing to the emitter. The other pin is base and the one with the tie bar which the screws go through are collector. Then refer to the documents.

Hard to see in your pic but those look like collector bus wires. Never worked on a S2 though. Do the transistor screws go through where that bus is soldered too? don’t take my word for it, I’m REAL good at letting smoke out!

Pretty sure the PL transistor sockets are marked on the inside for base and emitter, collector is the case, identify whether those wires are base or emitter then follow the documents for joes board as to which pin they go too?

NO NO NO!!! CUT THE RED WIRE!!! NOT THE BLUE!!!

And duct tape!

This one is in stock though. Might at least pull the transformer covers off and see if it can be repaired or even partially hand wound to fix the break.
