Re: OT: SOLA CV Transformer
The old capacitor checks about as close to the stamped value as one could expect. It's stamped as ".5uF" and my inexpensive component checker showed it to be 500nF and some change. Very close. ESR

Re: OT: SOLA CV Transformer
Sola transformers also have capacitors. If the value of the capacitor changes it will change the regulation and may make it run hot. I have had a couple of CVTs, not Solas but other makes, go bad in

Re: Looking for a good working 3-500Z
Rob, even with that other tube, the power out seems low. I¡¯ve worked on AL-80¡¯s and they put out at least 500W (closer to 700, actually). Something else is wrong. Is the output this low in all
