Not as far as I know, but if you suspect that kind of problem, try it at a lower voltage using your Variac to adjust the line voltage.Hi Pete,
I have assembled a new CP using the parts you listed below except I used MUR860G for the diodes. For some reason, I can't seem to get it to adjust the voltage. Are there some resistor changes that need to be made as well?
Thanks, Terry
Is this still a go?
I'm interested in a couple as well if their available.
Thanks
Terry,
Did you ever get this figured out.? i have 2 CP that won't adj. either although i used all orig. parts except 15K caps for C1 & C2.

Yes. The problem was that I used KSC1845/KSA992 for the BJT's. They have and ECB pinout. The boards are designed for BC550/BC560 so the pinout is CBE. I swapped those out and it is working perfectly.
AH,
Well, guess i need to do some more investigating then.
Nothing obvious yet.

What rail voltage are you running. I could probably post a schematic with voltages at each transistor if that would help you.
Blessings, Terry
Terry,
Thank You, that would be a big help.
I am running +- 43.7 at the fuse.The first 3 i built came up & adj. with no load. This last one & my etched version of his Single Layer won't adj.
Hi Rick,
Here is a schematic with the voltages I read with the PSU set to +-43.6 at the fuses and the output set to approximately +-43.2 with no load on it. Hope this helps.
