That's the right Web Site and the right Edison 60 Amplifier Kit

But the info that I need is not available to download from the site. I need to rewire this unit.

If someone out as build this kit! I need the wiring diagram I need a wiring schematic the info that came with the Kit.

What is a bort? did you blow it?

I'd check the fuse first, then perhaps the capacitors for leakage.

Ahem,

getting back on topic: a while back, Thorsten posted a fair bit on the net about this kit; built as per instructions, and as the basis for experimentation / circuit development. Suggest you do a google troll, or ask the man himself.

getting back off-topic
Ingrish is wonderful language for the newcomer:
bough, dough, through, cough, rough.

and when you start factoring kiwi vowel ginocide in the equation, the results can be really truly mind boggling Bro!....

Kia ora bro! Choice words eh!

btw, genocide. Ginocide is when you kill people by forcing them to drink too much elderberry extract...

Juniper, not eldeberry.

The berry of an evergreen bush.

Throw in an additional 7 or 11 herbs and spices and it is almost palatable.

That is until you try mixing it with tomato juice.

I bought the amp at the Paris flea market in May. The guy who sold me it, said that it was a total burn out. He was not far off most of the wiring as gone.
