I'm a 50yo electronics hobbyist (software engineer by trade) and want to say thanks for some of the incredible help and resources in this forum.
I'm preparing to restore a family Rock-Ola jukebox and so have been studying the schematic for about 18 months and learning every aspect of tube circuits I don't yet understand. I've now modelled the entire amp in LTSpice and feel like I understand enough not to kill it or me. Some of the posts on this forum have been incredibly insightful, especially the spice models.
I've registered so I can share my simulations and everything I learned along the way - could be a big post! Any tips on where I should submit that? (I guess Amplifiers>Tube.
thanks

Congratulations!
You are like a soldier who has studied only theory for 18 months.
And is preparing to be sucked into the crucible of real war?
Then I wish you success in restoring the unit.
If it has high voltages, then there is a rule.
Keep one hand behind your back, and manipulate the circuit with your free hand.
Because there may be high, dangerous voltages there that freeze in time.
And there will be a chance that we will talk again in the future.
Good luck!
