Hey folks. I have a question or two that will reveal my ignorance quickly. Usually I leave tube wiring projects to my betters, but I am too curious not to poke around. What’s a 400 volt shock or two?
I have a Magnavox 9302 with Edcor trannies. I'm about to change the speaker taps from 8 to 4 ohms in order to experiment with sound (my speakers are 6 ohms nominal). It has been suggested to me that, as an alternative, remove the 16 ohm taps (green wire) currently connected to the feedback resistor and replace it with the 4 Ohm taps (orange wire).
Two questions:
1. What is the purpose of having the 16 ohm taps connected to the feedback resistors?
2. If I change the speaker taps, can the green wires remain where they are?
