blew up the gemini

Adding screen resistors will just help with the stability of the amplifier. without screen resistors the power tubes have a tendency to start oscillating at really high (out of the range of hearing) frequencies. The screen resistors help to eliminate that problem, at the cost of about 1-2 watts of output at full power (not noticeable)

take a picture of the guts of the amp and I will point out which ones are for the vibrato.

Thank you. This is the only photo I have handy at the moment as the amp has been reassembled. I hope the caps are visible in this picture. I'd also like some advice onadding the grounded cable.I didn't have a problem installing the grounded cable in my reverberocket or my Gemini one, but this one has a standby switch and I'm a little confused. thanks again Hangman.let me know if you need more photos.
