R1155 restoration
|
The HT neg does not go to ground but is above gnd so giving the heg bias. See pic.?
The audio amp is not needed, I simply use an o/p transformer wired backwards and an l.s. to it, more than enough audio for room listening.? ?Pin 5 straight to af o/p tranny, other side to ground.

Anyway, I have made another with negative bias built in as shown on various diagrams,something I didn't concern myself with back then. But there was a massive resistor that was not stock wired in which got very hot, so perhaps that was the bias; wish I had noted where exactly it was wired Ht- to LT- perhaps? Anyway, doing a HT power test through a variac on reaching 100 volts? R4 tuned into toasted smoke. I will have to recheck the wiring on this board, but wondering if this? is a biasing issue?
