So, what's the middle bottom WW there for. R39??
Hard to tell, hmm. But also - is that thermal cutout not connected??? Whew... this one I would recommend a gutting. Then with some good new "proper" emitter resistors.. (or we wait for ...hint.. "back" and "plane" are two words coming to mind.... <fill in="" the="" blank,="" "back"="" and="" "plane"="" are="" two="" words="" coming="" to="" mind.="" :smokin::mrgreen:)</fill>

That amp is a mess. Are you willing to strip it to the bare chassis?? Joe is coming out with some backplane boards that will; make that job much easier...

Yeah Nav, I like her boots....
Me too. Can you imagine how much time I take to look for the perfect shot. I'm thinking hours. What a toll that takes on a simple man - the stress - the wondering if this is the one - oh my! Looking at all those naked or semi naked women - what a sacrifice. :tongue1:

hi guys just going back to the capacitors 75v 10000uf are no good a few guys mentined

How about 2x 100volt 25000uf capacitors would they OK to use I would probably have to mount them
Externally mounted case,which im happy to do if Its going to work

Note some things arent easy t get down under so im trying very hard to source bits and pieces to make this thing happen

100 volt caps in that situation is tenuous. Their called May-pops then. If you ae going external, go to 125 volt and anywhere from 20,000-35,000uf.
