unclejed613 I could really do with a complete manual. Mine has pages missing
Unclejed613, PB2, mikeAtx:
did you guys ever do anything else with your sims of the APT 1 amp discussed here: https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/apt-1-schematic-and-simulation-from-unclejed613.347851/ ?

Not me. I got my apt-1 running again after replacing the front end devices and a few other parts. I reread the thread and don't remember doing some of the sims it has been so long. The only thing I've done system wise is switch to a soft-start circuit for my amps to stop the lights from dimming.
Why not just buy a used one and service/upgrade it? I've done just that to our three units. New output transistors, film caps, electrolytics, trimmers, bypass caps, and other odds and ends. Certainly less expensive than designing and building a clone, which would be difficult based on the lack of availability of many of the smaller transistor types.
