Hey everybody,
Just got a very beat, but all orig. late 70's SR. It's the 70wt model with SS rectification and MV. What I'd LIKE to do is BF the thing, yet I'm wondering if it's even worth doing, what with all the bells and whistles and huge transformers the thing has.
I have yet to locate a schematic for it- what model # is this thing, anyway? It's got a hum balance, output tube balance and a line out, in addition to the rest of the normal SF features. All the caps on the board are dark blue- can't remember if these are crap or not- if they're worth keeping I'd check them for value and leakage, but if they're junk, you'll be saving me the trouble!
I'm going to replace all the electrolytics as a matter of course, as well as a set of Jensen Neo's, as the speakers are tired and this thing will get used pretty hard. So any suggestions regarding any possible component swapping will help a lot, as I'm putting an order together as we speak....
Any tips/links will be hugely appreciated!
