Here is the parts list for replacing the electrolytic capacitors on a PL400 Series II PL37 Cyborg boards. Parts from Mouser.

Gotcha. I appreciate the explanation, and something I can be aware of in other electronic endeavors. BTW, your color diagrams of hooking up the board in a former pl36 configuration are very helpful.

ok, but still wonder why it matters? Curious mind here.

Curious why the screw heads should be on bottom. I reversed them so I could get a socket on the nut... ps thanks for checking things out!

Hi kids, I just finished assembly of a WOPL Control Board Version G for use in a Quasi setup. I thought I'd post a picture to see if anyone spots any issues before I go forward with installation. Thanks in advance for your eagle eyes.

Were you able to locate a schematic? I have a couple of the PS-8 I'd like to bring back to life. Thx!

What? I thought I was getting paid to not post!

thx, this was a well running amp before I caused a short.

Thx Laatsch. They all check out after lifting and testing. I also swapped the bias resistors 5088 from side to side with no change in results. The left pot/bias has a range of 0.28 - 0.51. the right pot/bias has a range of 0.13 - 0.32. I tested all the transistors inboard, and nothing stood out...

Do you think it would be ok to swap in a 2n3403 (with the ecb correct) to test if the bias transistor is the issue? Otherwise I can wait for my electronics store to open Monday... thinking about it, the lower beta of the 3403 might not give me any useful info?

D1-D4 all check out. Thanks for the idea.

Thanks Joe, this one was working fine until I messed up and allowed the meter to touch the grounding bar. I'm thinking a new bias transistor might fix the low bias issue. Here are the pics. You can see in the picture the bias pot is turned all the way clockwise, and it is running at .32 bias...

Alright, the WOPL 400 is up and running nicely, but for one small issue. The left channel bias is at .34. The trim pot works, but won't take it any higher. The right channel has a full range of adjustment. I searched the site, but did not find an example of this low bias. Any ideas? It has the...

Do you eat any of your 40 cows?

Back at it. Took it back to the recommended startup procedure. I was able to determine the back plane is fine. Pretty much isolated the issue to the right channel of the control board. Further testing to follow.

indeed. I was surprised.

I replaced the transformer in my wopl pl400 today. Powered up great. Well, almost great. The left channel is working perfect, the right channel bias and output test points are showing 82V on the bias test points as well as the output test point. I think I'll take a break and tackle that next. I...

I'm not one to ask for help, follow the recommendations, fix the problem, and never report back. after trying and replacing just about everything, I still kept coming up with the left channel working perfectly, and the right channel with 0 bias. So I threw it off the back of a truck... Nah, I...

I use Dielectric grease on motorcycles...

Awesomeville!
