Re: 5F8-A Adjustable Bias MOD 6550

I email Mercury magnetic for more detail on the PT.

Yes, i should take a basse schematic of a bass amp, the thing is I didn't find a Layout.

Ian, the screen resistors seem's ok at 1K 5W... you mention 2K ?, never see that before... Why ?

And Yes, 4 x 6550 gonna be use
