At least the traces are all large. Do you know who did the original work on this unit -- who would have done the Pen Trans install, or did it come that way ? The Ampliphone FAQ 1.2 is fairly up to date. The only thing I don't see added since is replaceing C8, a problem I pulled my hair out over. The thread with my experience starts at: http://www.vectorlist.org/Vectorlist/2003/04/0064.html Also -- whatever source of BU406D's you find -- get 10. They are like fuses. For testing the HV, all else you need are a good meter, soldering iron and desoledering wick. I like chem-wik. Neither Mouser or Digi-Key seem to carry it, I've found it at Hosfelt Electronics (www.hosfelt.com), a surplus discount house. Among other things, you can get a case of light bulbs for $5, so it's fairoly easy to pad out an order. (Yes, standard 60 or 100 watt bulbs :-). -Chris ========================================================== Chris Candreva -- [email protected] -- (914) 967-7816 WestNet Internet Services of Westchester http://www.westnet.com/
