Well I put a 1n4007 in and it seems ok , also put a replacement for the electrolytic, I did accidently break the tip off the circuit breaker and changed it but the one I put in is rated at 1.75 , the one that was in it was 5amp , will the 1.75 be ok or will it trip ? I calculated the watts divided by volts and got 2.6 , the set is 310 watts , I tried a couple times a start up and it came on ok with the 1.75 , I even tried turning a set on one the same line to see if the momentary surge would cause anything , I almost plugged the vaccum in to see if that surge would do anything but didn't, so will it run and trip after a while because it is too low ?
now to try to get the ma measured on the cathode , get the sound tuned up a little and take some pics to post.
