Repair pic

Okay Peter, I have repaired from the bottom as you suggested. The original "loops" were just so the wire wouldnt move when then tip touched it. I put it on so well I'm having difficulty removing it!

Just in case, is it possible to buy just one board? Really no big deal if I need to purchase 2 at the time, very reasonable and who knows? Maybe I'll screw something else up by then.

Thanks again,

russellc

Never mind about the one board question, reading page 1 has all the info. If you will sell one, inform me and I'll pick it up to go with the spare I'll have. I have pay pal'd you for another pair of boards, I also ordered another channel of parts from Tech-DIY. Now I will have plenty of spares for future errors/explosions. If I dont need them, I'm sure another member out there may have similar difficulties. Plus, I have a feeling this wont be the last one of these I'll buy. Tech-DIY is an awfully friendly place, bundling all this up for a single purchase point. They have already sent out the only two tiny pieces that were missing. It must be a nightmare to bag up all this tiny stuff.

Peter, I am very sorry but I have another beginners question. There is a lot of confusion, ( actually everyone is very sure of their way, just none of them agree with each other, making the thread useless for my purposes on THIS issue) over on the F-5 thread. My question concerns how the pot should be set on YOUR boards for startup: Full clockwise, or full counterclockwise? ( I thought I wasnt confused until I read everything, many opinions only one right way.

Thank you for answering what shouldnt be a question!😀

Set them half way and you'll be fine either way, that's what I did and it worked fine for me 😉

IIRC, when mounting trimpots on my boards according to screw position on a footprint, you will be reducing bias by turning them clockwise (analogy to shutting the water).

Hello All,

I'm using Peter's PS boards- Pos and Neg for each channel. Also using small rectifier boards that accompany the PS boards and using one 18+18v transfo. I would like to know what is the best way to power the PS filter sections. Do I tap off the two rectifier boards and feed DC to both filter sections or take the AC from the transformer and feed 4 rectifiers? I'm guessing that taking the AC from the transformer and feeding 4 bridges would provide most seperation. What do you think?

Thanks,

Vince
