Hope that helps...
Yes! Very much so!
I'll take pics next time I'm working on it.
Hope that helps...
I attached a few pics to show where I am now. Obviously I'm doing a few other things the same time (caps, rectifier, and I need to replace the power cord since it's damaged).
Solid ground wire on rca input jack plate has been cut and will be cut more flush when I tidy the area up.
Good thing to do...
The white ground wire also soldered to that plate, that originally went to the board, will be cut out and removed.
Good...
Ground for the DCP board will come from the eyelet just to the left of the DCP board. You can see that wire comes directly from the copper bus bar so that should work properly (unless I'm missing something).
That will do until you put the WO backplanes in...
I will add the new ground wire going from the bus bar to the new WO board as you described.
This is necessary..
Lastly, I assume that the rca grounds will then come directly through the new WO board, correct?
Correct...
I believe that covers it all for now. I'm sure I'll have more questions. Coolness...

A pretty clean little amp there Bud...
To be honest, I'm not sure which ones are the "bias trannys", but I didn't break anything so I guess I was gentle enough.
And thank you for the kind words. I'm glad to be here!
So here's my update. I pulled the power cord out and cut about a foot off (it was damaged). Threaded it back through as it originally was. Finished wiring the DCP board. New rectifier, new caps, new wires from caps to rectifier, and you can probably see the new ground wire that will attach to the board.
I have the few board parts coming from Joe (mentioned in the bulletin/mod). Once I get those, I will install them and finish the last few WO board items (jumpers and test points). Then wire that up!
Also need to install the new set of drivers. Which reminds me of a question. Hest sink grease?? On both sides of the sil pads, correct? Any particular type or brand you recommend?
And a few pics.

I'm getting closer!! Just 2 quick questions tonight.
1) the 5 little test points on the board. Should they get soldered into place or just held by tension?
2) what do you guys use to clean heat sink grease off? The old stuff is everywhere.
Thanks again.
BTW - here's Kim. Man can she wipe.
