I'm glad you have answered as you are just the person who can answer my question. Did you use the 8v input leg on the Q801? I may have gotten confused and used the 5v output leg. I've installed the SC3 much the same as you did. I also added a second signal output like Ken did to Pins 167/170. I'm having startup difficulties, i.e. disc won't spin. Ken and I think I may have a power issue.
BTW, I've been in consultation with Ken on my SC3 install.
No spin up can also possably mean the wrong point at the crystal as well. Unfortunatly I can not tell you where I conected as the unit is now all closed up and being used and my circuit diag. is with someone else but I think it was about 10-12 volts near a voltage regulator. If absolutly no luck I will open mine and give an approx point I conected
try....http://www.trichordresearch.com/clockinstructions.html
1) Connect the +Ve (Red twisted wire) of the Clock 2/4 to a DC supply between +9 and +20 volts dc. Most CD players use 7812 and/ or 7815 three pin voltage regulator I/C's for their positive analogue power supplies. Try not to connect the Clock 2/4 to these regulators as you will add clock noise to the analogue stages and impair performance.
The digital supplies in most CD players are fed from a 5 volt regulator - normally a 7805. The input side i.e. pin 1 (with the text on the regulator facing towards you, lead-wires facing down, pin 1 is on the left) is usually several volts higher than 5V and is the ideal place to put the red twisted wire.
No need for you to take anything apart. I was connecting to the output leg of the 5v regulator. The input leg gives 8v, and I found another regulator where I get a good 12v.
The SC3 now turns on.
I still do not get discs to spin and read however.
Ken Tripp is not too far away and may be able to help. I just hope it's something simple.
