Ahhh ok. I was reading it backwards, thinking the brown band was a gold band. Ok, I'll swap them out for 220k resistors. Yes there are 4 more caps on the bottom side of the board. Thanks again for your advice.

Ordered up some new caps and have them ready, but I noticed that these bleeder resistors have been changed at some point (assuming when the caps were replaced) but unless I'm reading the color codes wrong, it appears that these resistors are 24 ohm and not the 100K ohm that they are supposed to...

The filter caps for the driver tube were already removed from the driver voltage supply board when I got it. the 4 caps that are visible on the 572b voltage board (I have not removed the board to inspect the other side yet) appear to have been replaced at some point in time, but I am planning on...

Thank you for the reply and tips, Ill will definitely look into either changing the tube orientation or just standing the amp on its side. Do you know if the operating voltage I have is correct? Meter reads about 2000v on standby, and when modulation on SSB, the peak voltage drop is around...

Nice work. Gonna be a nice talking unit when your done with it.

The main thing, is making sure your other ports are secure from both the firewall on your computer and your router/gateway. Being you are familiar with Linux, you can do something similar to the setup I am running. I have a Nextcloud server running that I use not only for a private/personal...

Hope Im posting this in the right area, but I have a couple questions that you all may be able to help me out with. To start, about 6 months or so ago I got a Mohawk 10 5b, it was in pretty rough shape, driver tube had been removed and the wires and coil for the driver tube had been hacked out...

I appreciate the advice. I did order up a set of of the HG2312's and i have pots and resistors. Just need to order a new driver and then solve the sight issue so I can replace the componets. I will post some pics of the repair when I get it completed.

I removed the old parts, but due to my eyesight getting worse as I get older, I think Im gonna wait to install new parts till I purchase one of those microscopes with the monitors so I can see better when installing the new parts. But I thought that the 2SC2312 was a better final than the...

Good deal. Thanks for the info. Ill post some pictures when I do the replacement aftet the finals get delivered. Thanks again.

Should it be epoxied to the transistor or do you think thermal paste would be a better idea?

Got a RCI-2980 (non WX version) that a final blew on. Im planning on replacing both of them, along with the bias diodes, the 1w resistors and the pots. My question is about the MV1Y bias diodes. I have searched on here and other forums and not sure what way I should go. I have read that I can...

Interesting mod. I may have to actually give this a try and see how it performs. I'm assuming the diodes in the schematic are 1n4148's?
