Oooops... pop then fuse blew.




Think one of the multi-cap cans gave out. I had the bottom open so I could double check the power tranny spec's. Heard a crinkling popping sound then the power fuse blew. Replaced the fuse then turned on for just a 1/2 sec and got blue flames in the 5U4GB.

Nice thing about mono-blocks is you can compare readings. Was worried it was the PT so I compared resistance readings across all windings between the 2 PT's and they matched up. But when I compared C8's I couldn't get any resistance or capacitance readings from the suspect one.

Anyway I did find the spec's for the PT online: 380,0,380 @ 150ma, 5v @ 3a, and 6.3v @ 3a.

I was trying to see if these would support a Dynaco MKIII or IV clone. If I move just one of the tube sockets I should be able to squeeze the Edcor OPT in on top.

Take a look at the attached schem. Do you think this could work on the chassis with the existing PT's and those Edcore's?

Thanks for all your help,
