Re: Komet 60 Schematic...Accurate ?

Nice board in that amp, jaxx. Did you make/stake this ...

Express Screen vs. Plate supply Voltages

Being primarily a Marshall/Fender guy, I was surprised to see that the Express screen grid supply was about 8-12 Vdc lower than the plate supply (based on reported voltages) due to the use of a 1K resistor vs. a choke. Does this effect the distortion characteristics of the Express ? Also, while I'm ...

Re: Komet 60 Schematic...Accurate ?

The schematic that the ampgarage guys came up with is accurate. That's good news, M. Fowler. Many thanks. Now if you can point me to that Komet 60 schematic I'd really appreciate it, as I'll be damned if I can find it on this web-site. I see Rocket, Liverpool, and Express info but no Komet. Pop you...

Komet 60 Schematic...Accurate ?

The ONLY schematic I can find of the Komet 60 is this:

http://www.schematicheaven.com/newamps/komet.pdf

Is this schematic considered accurate, or is there a better, more accurate schematic of the Komet 60 available ?

Re: Franchesca Schematic

Here is a copy of the Kelly 90 schematic that I changed to match Franchesca. If your building an Express and want it to match the Franchesca pics this is what you need to use. If anyone sees any corrections needed just let me know. [img:1625:1260]http://users.zoominternet.net/~jdhall/amps/TwreckKel...

Re: Express Documents

Although voltages are different, both the Express Schematic and Voltage Chart listed in this thread indicate a 15-18Vdc difference between the OT c/t voltage and the screen-grid voltage feeds. This would not be the case if a choke were to be used and I'm wondering if this voltage difference could be...

Diodes on the Finals Plates..?

What is the purpose of the three series diodes to ground off each of the power tube plates in the Express ? Is this soley for clipping (2.1Vdc threshold) ?
