Good to know. :)
I had far too many people convince me that the SF DR would never be worth much, so I came that close to the point of no return.

Time has proven them wrong.

The cat is out of the bag about drip edged '67's.

Cygnus, what was your goal with the NFB mod and what values did you use? Thanks.

Sidehatch, sorry to derail your thread.

The mod is an on/off switch.

The value is a 125V 5A switch.
:)

The goal is a slightly more gritty tone.

Hahah, nice. I was wondering if you tried a different value for the feedback resistor or tried a pot to vary it. Just curious.

Well, it was something to do with that polarity switch that I removed.
So my thinking was, of all the mods I tried, whcih one did I like the most?

And since it exhibited no trouble with removal of NFB (like some BF circuits do), I went with it.
Amazing, since it resides right next to the AC input, but it works. I usually leave the NFB "Off".

If any Creepy Wallys happen, then a flick of the switch tames it back to spec.
