So along with replacing the smoothing caps, all components in the bias circuit were sorted as well as a tidier bias adjustment setup.
Here's the 50uf+50uf cap and bias bits. There's also a new power resistor connected between the 16ohm tap and ground.
A quick look at the inside with new caps, adjustable bias and slightly tidier mains wiring.
I've also removed the polarity switch and put the standby switch in its place.
A close up of the adjustable bias'
Some of the other things I'd like to try on this project are -
KT88s.
Sockets for monitoring bias and plate voltage with separate bias for each valve.
Switchable valve/SS rectifier.
Cheers
