    Scout 20 4 driving 4 amplifier

    Could one of the grid bias caps, usually 220 uF, possibly be installed backwards? Positive would go to ground.

    Scout 20 4 driving 4 amplifier

    As far as l know, there are no schematics available. Tube set up is the same as the D&A Maverick.. What do you need to know? I have repaired many of them and have experience plus many notes on them.

    You have to be careful which external "power supply" you get since there are two different models of 300A's. The difference is in the power supply in the amp itself.
