    Thanks D-lab, at college our teacher used to call it an "Occular Survey" using the eyes to sus out the circuit. He actually learned his craft just after the 2nd WW and in later life became a teacher, I salute you and him for being excellent teachers.

    I'd love to see the whole process until the end. I understand you show the analysis and method to discover issues but... a couple of minutes more with you soldering the wires and components would be more interesting

    I love it! "Look for burned parts" is my tube amp motto!. I also don't care for solid wire in these as they break. Bravo Terry!

    Great video!!! The troubleshooting phase is where good techs earn their money and keep wasted time to a minimum. That one probably would have had me stumped for a while!

    I had a Leslie amp which had no continuity from the cathode resistor to ground. Visual inspection showed the solder connections of said wire were secure.
    It turned out that the ground wire was broken INSIDE the insulation.

    Very nice video.
    And that's why as well the g1 contact of the tube socket must always be clean and tight. If it is dirty, oxidated or loose, causing negative bias voltage not being present at grid1, it causes the same unpleasant result to the totally innocent output tube as the broken wire did.

    Was the associated 470 screen resistor still ok ?

  • @dhelton40
    @dhelton40 2 місяці тому

    Maybe the assembly person ringed the wire with their strippers back in the day, and it took 40 years to snap. I could see how this could happen, having worked in a factory panel shop doing point to point wiring.

    Hey Terry, I have a clone blackface twin reverb. Made in the Philippines in the late 60's. The switches for reverb and tremolo we're hard wired to the chassis. No plugs. I was wondering if it was possible to put in toggle switches in the rear of the amp instead of floor switch plugs. Right now there are no switching functions.

    What kind of mod was added with the pot in the input jack? Are you planning on putting back to stock in a future video so share with us? Thanks for all you do to make these videos Terry.

    • @d-labelectronics
      @d-labelectronics  Рік тому +1

      Yep, already pulled that mod and reinstalled a 1/4" jack. Amp is close to test time

    I can logically deduce that mouse had something to do with that poor connection, he was sniffing around very suspiciously.

    Also to keep in mind guys china and Russian tube pins are thinner on American sockets so the connection is poor that’s why I don’t use them and there junk anyways
