Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

Fixed! Yay!

Ok, fixed. The 22mfd/500VDC filter cap that supplies the phase inverter failed. Interesting, as this is the second F&T 22mfd/500VDC which has failed on me in the last two years. A new one failed on a Deluxe Reverb.

I replaced the last two 22mfd caps with Sprague 20mfd/500VDC ones. All other caps were replaced one-by-one to rule out failures. Starting with the first 80mfd/450VDC cap.

Reversing the power cord didn't work, for this amp.

BTW... anyone try the 20mfd/600VDC Sprague Atom cap, yet? Very $$$ (nearly $20 a pop from AES).


No more hum. Thank goodness!


Thanks, for the replies.
