dynaco 70 problem
Posted by bg on August 30, 2006 at 09:45:42:
I just blew out my rectifier tube. I took my tubes to a repair clinic and they told me that all the tubes were running way hot. He said that in almost all cases it was leakage in the caps which would gradually cause too much power to flow through that tube, thus blowing it. He told me I should replace all of these caps. I know of the main big cap to the right of the rectifier tube, but where are the other ones? Should I consider an upgrade to eliminate this problem or should I go ahead and find replacement parts & new tubes??
