    Texas Star Amplifier problems

    Hi loose cannon. I have my new reverse polarity diode and am ready to put it in. It is a button type with no marking to tell me which end is anode and which is cathode and looks the same on both ends. Can you tell me how to find which end is which? Thanks Chuck

    Astatic 575M-6 mic wiring question?

    I have had the board out of the mic before. I can see the back of the board, but it is hard to tell which solder spot is the negative one. Do you have a picture of that? Thanks
