In the process of removing the PCB board from my 300B amp, I learned that the cheapo wire insulation melted at a MUCH lower temperature than needed to unsolder the damn things... On top of that, there was so little room to get the iron in.
I think its best to solder tails on the board using ptfe or silicone coated, and splice in the leads where there is a bit more room, with double heat shrink... Thing is, I may want to go in and out a few times... Got me thinking, does anyone know of any type of disconnect or barrel plug that can be used to facilitate easy connecting / disconnecting of wires in a tube amp ? The B+ is 450v and the amperage is relatively low. I see connectors for 1kv and much higher amperage for electric cars, but dont want to spend $80 per!
