Elekit 879S Modification

[Gdowns62]

My amp that I built years ago periodically crackles or makes other noises. I want to open it up and touch up the soldering.

It would be fun to upgrade or change since I am in doing the work. Any ideas with instruction would be helpful. Any ideas on things to check would be great also.

Thanks.

Post a picture and circuit if you have it.

Tubes will do that. 😉

I changed mine to use 6V6 tubes, because I like 6V6 tubes.

I guess it's debatable whether or not that is an upgrade.

Details are in a thread down in the Elekit forum.

Always repair an amplifier and get it working properly, before you modify or upgrade it.

In this particular case, the issue may not be the valves... I had a few of these repaired.
What is the exact circuit diagram?
