Lots of people here to help Peter. No need to thank us every post, or ask us to help in the future. Someone will respond to your posts. How soon depends on if we see it. ....

C'mon, man!
This should be pretty clear by now...

Sorry to be a bother , but I just want to make sure I do everything the right way kinda new to this ,

No, it does not, someone has done some previous work....the binding posts that come with Don's board will be isolated from the chassis by design, just use all the parts supplied.

Those 3 wires don mentioned in his instructions that get tied together that go to the relay board , one small white wire that I solder on that bare jumper wire that I cut that’s soldered to left neg input jack,, the second small white wire that is soldered to the left neg binding post with the other 2 wires that also get moved to the relay board,, and the third white wire that I soldered to the capacitor , these 3 get tied together and go into the dons board , is that correct,, here’s 2 pics,, I didn’t take a pic of the wire coming off the capacitor

I need a better pic of the relay board that you put in your amp. And a pic I can trace all the white wires you are talking about.

Yes, I'm aware of that Peter, I need a pic of the relay board mounted in your amp, and a pic of the 3 white wires, and where they go. A pic of the rectifier wouldn't hurt either..

When I get to that stage lee ,,,I’ll send u pics of those white wires and the relay board installed, I’m going to install it this weekend , thanks lee u stay safe and healthy

Before you mount the relay, take a pic of the newly installed speaker binding pots. I want to make sure everything is accounted for...

As far as safe and healthy...well.....I have a few more years left..

Hi lee I just finished , took me couple hours , hardest was soldering those Ac wires to thr reftifier , but I got them on ,, cut that solid wire like don said in his procedure soldered another white wire to ground off the neg input jack as dons instructions , twisted it with the other 2 wires the one from the capacitor and the one coming from driver board that was on neg binding post with those other bigger grounds , twisted all 3 small white together inserted into terminal #6 as dons procedure, , hooked the remaining wires to the proper terminals. Ty rap everything nice and neat here’s some pics

 

[laatsch55]

Looks good...

 

[v65magna]

Looks good...

I hope I did everything correct I’m pretty sure I did , lee that solid wire don mentioned to cut , see pic where I cut I soldered the white wire to where the end of cut was ,u see there’s a wire still attached to it from the factory I left it alone , is that correct here a few pics

 

[laatsch55]

Yep...

When Don's board is installed properly it will work first time and every time. I keep a couple extra relays in case an output fails and sends DC to the speakers. Never had that happen to me, others have. Generally those who like to abuse their amp.

 

[laatsch55]

Easy now Fred, use and abuse are a fine line..

 

[FredR]

Folks that do this know who they are

Thanks lee for all your advice , I hooked it up everything is working fine I’m so happy just the left channel volume output has to be cleanel it’s a little scratchy always has been I order some detoxit d5 and detoxit feather lube , just waiting for them to get here , thanks again , I love the sound of that relay clicking on when I power that beast up , take care my friend

Glad it worked out..
