Hi Ron,

Yes indeed. A fellow at work passed it to me - I explained it likely would have some value (not really knowing the model I was being offered at the time). The offer held and I gladly accepted.

Thank you for the technical insight. I have glanced at a few sources that mention bias circuit changes - and this makes a lot of sense. It seems the original design is somewhat vulnerable to problems. Independent adjustment is a good idea, and I'll definitely add in the inrush current limiter - they are very cheap insurance.

As to caps, I can't decide yet whether to restuff the cans, or get the Hayseed kit. It is more money, but will save time and effort.

More as we go along, but I want to finish up the Zenith, and clear the workbench before starting on this project. Won't be too long now.

Ed
