OT check me [TOPIC CONSOLIDATION]

Post by Reeltarded »

The wire from the ht fuse to each of the plates measure 41-42 ohms and when the plates are together it tones as closed to the hot.

It appears across the 2ndary is .4ish, .7ish, and .9ish.

This OT is good, isn't it? Damnit!

Kind of like The post down stream. This amp is throwing me like a pony on meth. A methstang.

Thanks. I need a drink. :)

Marshall 2205, belongs to a friend who didn't get a good deal on a bad amp. Back to probing. I am beginning to feel like a UFO dood.

Sorry about this dumb question.

So if I run para pairs of resistors <same diss rating> the dissapation rating doubles?

Fresh out of 1R/1w resostors, but I have 2.2R/.5w on hand and they land just under 10%.

So you're wanting to make a 1.1R 1W by paralleling two 2.2R 1/2W? That sounds fine to me.

Thanks again, Martin. I never had to worry with the dissapation end of things. I didn't remember how it worked out there.

It lives. Some (more moronic than me even) idiot did some crazy stuff to this amp. Just a good pot cleaning from success here! Sounds like a bumble bee with no bass! Worst tubes in the World!
