*Twiddle Twiddle*
Still twiddling my thumbs. I'd hoped the caps would arrive today, but probably will on Monday (because of the holiday Thursday).
Can't do much else until I have those, but I did rig up an external RCA input using a dual-pole dual-throw switch and some RCA jacks, plugs, and shielded audio cable... so when the set is done, I'll be able to switch between the internal turntable and an external source at the push of a button!
The only issue I could see is with the set's floating ground- Would it cause an issue if I plugged in an audio source with a hard-wired ground?
Anyway, once I've recapped, what would be the best way to power up the set? I don't have a variac (alas) but I'd thought to pull all the tubes, check the transformer output voltages, and then put the tubes back in one by one, testing voltages (indicated on the schematic) as I go.
