Re: Adding Bias Adjustment Pot

Interesting...implementing this circuit would cause an increase in current draw? Can you explain? The theory is still a bit beyond me at this point.

And yes, every electrolytic in the amp (and the early model diodes, 1N1697) are being replaced.

Re: Adding Bias Adjustment Pot

You got it exactly. The way this amp is laid out, the power supply is in a chassis at the bottom of the cabinet, and the bias feed resistors are up top with the tubes and the rest of the circuitry. It's a bit crowded, but thre's room to install a pot between each pair of output tubes. I'm wondering ...

Re: Adding Bias Adjustment Pot

really good information in here...I'm reading and rereading this posts in an attempt to do the same to a Magnatone M15 I'm resurrecting. This is an unusual amp in that it's essentially two complete amps in one, to enable stereo vibrato and other silly (but undeniably cool-sounding) features. If that...
