He is soooooo high maintenance!

I know, here is his license plate.

still not see clearly about how virtual zero connected. should be looks like this ?

I really hope the designer hasn't been telling people their tubes are defective when it is the amp. It's very disappointing that so many of these have been sold with this issue in place.

Yes, I am. And soooooo worth it.

LOL! Someone tried to copy my plate...mine has a Carolina Blue background.

Just to make sure, it's fine if I put two 200 ohm resistors in parallel on each heater pad if I don't have any 100 ohms at my disposal? I'm almost done with my extremely long rebuild, just need to put the heaters back in, those resistors for the center tap, and to wire the pot.

Edit to add: since I'm removing the Fitz mod at the same time, I'll be able to speak a little bit to the hum reduction by comparison.

200ohm will be fine if the wattage is ok, may not need to parallel. i used 220r back in the day

Super helpful, thanks! I'll probably then just use one each of my 200ohm 1w resistors rather than paralleling.

Before and after. Still won't work properly.

Sorry to hear that, not much to lose if you heat them again and apply more solder.

thanks for reply, I have not disassembly the whole amp yet. so not sure about the LED pcb schema and don't understand why when connect like your addressed . why need 2x2k resisters paralleled with exists on the led PCB.

Yeah I'll apply a little more and see what happens. If that doesn't do it I'll probably donate them or something.

I do not mind helping with some things.

I replaced the solder in some very old tubes before and while solder can go all the way around a wire, it does not mean you have good contact. I used flux a few times and finally it worked.

is the darkvoice power same as bottle crack ?
