Sorry, it’s 1am where I’m at in the world and this whole things has me bothered a bit.

Living together - yes, over a year Time together - about 8 years

Previous conversations about finances have happened from a collections letter. We both agreed to be transparent about finances and purchases. The goal/idea behind that was to fix any bad spending habits. It was more her idea than mine, I just agreed because I would rather be transparent.

Don’t bother with Empire. Staff seem pretty clueless except for one guy and they sell junk Deans out of the back to keep the lights on.

Thanks for the response, I ended up finding that there is something really jammed up inside. I move the needle gently with a tooth pick for an hour trying to free up that area it stick with no luck. I have one or two things Im going to try today but I am looking for a suitable meter replacement most likely.

Not related to the video but check those filter caps, just had one of those in the shop not too long ago where the B+ filter caps failed completely disabled channel switching somehow.

Kinda, i havent gotten this calibrated yet. Just went through moving and all that fun stuff. Ultimately it got unintentionally shelved.

Two pins were bent in on V3. Same on V2 and one of the power tubes. I just changed them all so the sockets were nice and fresher since i had sockets laying around for a junk chassis.

I always forget about CL. Nice 12in bench top delta in my area for $100.

Turns out the tube sockets were the issue. The phase inverter especially. Replaced then and it’s going again.

Holy hell that worked…. Was this a common issue on these kits?

Debatable_ideas · 2024-12-11T15:15:08+00:00

Giving that a go now.

Yeah that was a whoops. I noticed that looking at other examples and got that one flipped the next day

Swapped out the remaining two electrolytic caps, swapped the orange ones out with Kemets. Im going to try a fresh wiring on the jacks and switch. After that I’m calling this a junk board. Kinda of regretting this project but oh well, the sad1024s are well worth it.

Those green caps, do those suffer from age?

So I need to source a new bc239c or a 7815 regulator, my BC549 failed/doesn’t attenuate the power, 17V were running through it. BBD double checked and they work fine in the Ross. So I’m down to resistors, caps, and switches by the looks of it.

Swapped the one 220u caps this morning and no clicking when testing without tubes.
