Where are the resistors? (70's power supply)

Post by ic-racer »

Can't seem to locate the position of the parallel bleed resistors on first two capacitors. Does anyone know where they are (are they between the capacitors?). Perhaps there are none??

Ok, I may be answering my question. I just found this shot of a Winterland and it shows the two resistors BETWEEN the capacitors. Perhaps that is what is going on with the silverface, 70's ODS amps?

The first two caps may not have resistors because they are in series. The two caps are 100uf @ 350v (that's what I can see). In series they are 50uf @700v. Perfect for the B+ position in the power supply. Many will parallel a resistor to the caps to distribute the load. I don't see them.
