Good to know, and it should be safe to play around with the values for brightening up that channel and put in a 15nf or even 10nf?

HAHA more questions ahead,soon it will end i hope.. This cap if i read the schematics right it should be a 0,022uf(22nf) cap right? and not a 0,033uf cap that who ever "repaired" this put in, i goes from pin6 to normal volume if i`m not mistaken( first mustard cap from left on preamp secti...

Thanks for clarifycation on everything.
Cheers/K

Correct good dr. It´s from negative on the 16/32uf to p1 and the resistor is 1,5k. So i would change that one back to a 100uf 16v for original spec correct? And as i suspected the 150uf cap is the bias cap correct? just to clarifiye? Because i`m terrible bad att reading schematics but i try to learn...

Hello. I´m here again and freeloathing on your experience.. I Have done a recap joob and wow what a difference it made.. But i got a bit confused with the 100uf/100v bias cap since the two axial i suspect is the one, the values are a bit off on both. The red circled is 100uf/40v and the yellow 150uf...

Thanks mark you quys here are the best.. i've should have figured that it was the screen resistor, but i'm a completely beginner regarding amps.

Thanks Mark, for clarifying it for me. One more question is the cement power resistor supposed to get hot? The amp has allways smelled and runned quite hot and yesterday i went to get to the bottom of it, and accendently burnet myself on that one the powertubes seems fine no one is drasticlly drawin...

Gldtp99 Do you know what happened with yours i`ve tried to track down previus owner to find out what burned when and what they have done to it and if you know it might be a clue for me, since ours look simillar.

I have three more questions for the experts here.. do you know if its possible to repair the damage on the pcbs by simply put some epoxi of some sorts on top off it to plaster it and is it ok to clean of the burnt areas with aceton or something thats is instant vaporising. And is it possible to put ...

Ahh nice i`m in malmö so stockholm is a bit to far.. I didn`t think it was so expensive 8000Sek equivalent to around 800 if buying in us with taxes and etc.. but it is going on the learning account. Yeah i`m burning through ljudbojen to find a good one here in skåne but they are scarse..

Ak-47 it is the same amp.. It sounds really nice, but as seen needs some work. I will talk with a amp builder to se how much job it will require a shame to let a good amp go to the cemetery. Where in Sweden do you live ak?

Thanks jay i hope that as we'll, normally i check the gear first but it was cheap and driving 2000km wasn't an option. Time will tell,but it works and sounds really good so..

Yeah i`m starting my self to have those thoughts, should probebly be easiest to rip it out and start over. Do you guys know there are annyone in euorpe how has torretboards etc? or is it possible to buy torrets and basiclly everything that can`t be salvaged, from vhr shop? even if taxes and such is ...

Thanks for the input and as i thought.. Yep the pcb is marked hiwatt so thats non of my concern that it is not a genuine hiwatt. Is it even possible the get a hold of those pcbs? i don`t think it`s a good idea to reuse the old ones as they look like something burned in there and scared and what not....

Hello My name is Kristofer and i`m from sweden( so bare with my spelling and grammatics;)) I just recently bought my first hiwatt a 2 holer from 1980 imported by the swedish general agent musik utan gränser. I fired it up and it sounded ok a little tired and the volume was very low on both channel j...
