Yes. I recorded that with my video camera and mic setup. Pinner (member here) playing.

Is this #183?

Thanks Shad.

Two 330uf caps in series. Actually measured about 300uf each fwiw.

So, a typo....

WOW!

Thanks a lot Shad!

Are you serious about 330uF paralleled for B+?

So 660uF total for plates?

Or did you mean series and 165uF total?

[Structo]

I figured in his excitement he meant series.

What does TKT mean?

Shad, Thank you for your generosity of information on the RF & Tag Amps.

Steve.

Shad and you'all

This has turned into a very exiting threds already

I'm heating up my soldering iron to modify those amps tonight

Thanks for sharing this info Shad.

I'm guessing TAG KNOWS TONE

Thanks Shad for all that info.
Sometime ago it was posted at ceriatone forum that RF's amp has no V2A snubber and V2B coupling cap is 0.01uf .Can anyone confirm if that's really the case?

[ampdork]

Sorry yes series wiring.... I was speaking physically... ;O)

TKT amp
6ps .05 coupler V1-b
715 .015 V2-a

No.... Not the case, it has snubbers. Shad posted the amp specs of a Bludo Ojai. Regular cap arrangement in OD. .05, .01, .005

Thanks Shad for all that info.

Question, was the OD trimmer measured with the amp on and OD on?? The reading changes depending on whether the amp is on and OD engaged.....

My notes indicate that I was getting 33K from the node of the trim pot and 220K and the wiper and 21.53 from ground. notes say OD IN...

Also, didn't 183 have some larger OD1 cap?? .05uf on OD1. Pretty important fact.

If in fact it were a fact...
Notes say .015 OD1

[dogears]

Interesting, the pics say it is a 100K trimmer. So, wouldn't you get 100K from trimmer input to ground? Unless the OD was not on, then the 220K is grounded on the other side....

In my tests, a setting of about 24K sounds best.... From wiper to ground. Fwiw of course.
