Re: Cathode Follower after One Gain Stage

Rare Brit amp...Elgen
Kinda loosely based on 6G6 bassmans

I had both bass and lead versions on the bench back when I serviced amps...belonged to a local collector

Before I retired, I used PADS Logic and PADS PCB at my day job.
I used to document odd and rare amps that came across the bench (amp repair as a sideline).

Re: Rose Morris Era AC-30 w/reverb, schematic?

Here is a schematic I made years ago from a stock working RM I had on the bench. Same, yet different than the sch you posted. Hope this helps.
note: owner wanted to run 7189s, hence the EL84 rewiring

Re: How to clean motherboards?

I've used carb cleaner and brakleen...and I ain't dead yet.
Anhydrous Isopropyl Alcohol and soft bristle toothbrush. Dunk the whole thing in a pan of it, let it soak, and brush lightly. Rinse twice in fresh alcohol. Will look 'factory'. Just wear some wrenchhead's gloves and open a window.
