Kirk's Sterling deluxe
#17

Greg

Couple of questions, if you don't mind.

1. The minuses of the electrolytics seem to be tacked to the chassis. Which makes no sense as they also go to the common B- which is separate from the chassis. Are they in fact tacked or is it an optical illusion on the photo?

2. The bottom dogbone resistor, Brown and Grey and Black dot, is missing, and so is the Red and White with Black dot.
Could you tell me where on the sockets do they connect? Are they the R8 and R7 on the sch I pointed to?

PS. Yes the R8 in my radio is simp!y shorted (pins 4 and 5 of the 35W4) and so is the R7. The latter is not likely to affect much, the former....possible, though don't see how. If it is part of filtering, the value is low.

PPS. The C3 is 47nF vs 20nF in the sch. Not sure what it is there for. Bypassing the diode....why?

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
