Gentlemen,
Finally I am going to put the to work. I am building it into its final case right now. Before closing the thing I have been running some more tests with Shuntys only and 470R as load.
Unfortunately R21,R22 keep "blowing" - they are actually not burned, just R is > 2M. My first attempt was 1R8 1/4W noname according to notes in the cook book, then I used 2R 1W Vishay metal film. They just died 5 minutes ago when I switched of/on the third time (It always happens when I switch it on). Both channels at the same moment. I use low ESR Rubycon caps and a 42V 250VA EI transformer...
What could I do?
Thanks
Sven

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

First, I would have prayed!

I guess I will not be able to fix it "ex post" with this method?
Maybe not but it's worth a try!

....
you have two solutions , obviously ;
1. either toss those Ruby's out .........
2. or keep changing resistors ; put some fuse holders in their place , to ease that change ........
or ....... maybe you can decrease them in value , 'till they start to survive powering up
What could I do?
Sven,
if you still have that Sledge tool from the D-Seite, shoot it !
I have to admit "shooting it" was among my first thoughts, however that is satisfactory only at a very very short term .
Ex post praying did not work, so I guess will have to actually put other resistors. The fuse socket is not such a bad idea since these PCBs clearly have been designed to solder ONCE and then never again .
I don't really know how much current runs through these resistors during startup and why 1W is not enough - I already halved the value. Without much experimenting - bear in mind frequent soldering/desoldering is not the best thing to do to these PCBs - what should I use? 1/2W Carbon 2R? Generg mentioned MOX?

Hi there.
I have started to check and solder what i have in stock...
On Pumpkin cook book, i read : R9, R10, R14, R15, R29 : 150E to 240E.
How can i define the good value ? Is 220R OK ?
How to define the correct value for caps ?
Sorry for these noob questions... But i am sure i'll have more...
