Andy,
As a self-taught "shade tree" engineer, there are so many things I am really, really good at being ignorant about. I've been pretty good at diagnosing and repairing many of the common problems since I was a kid, but I've never had the luxury of a comprehensive education on the subject, so certain things still leave me scratching my head or other parts of my anatomy. I have NEVER been able to fully grok the mechanics of DC restoration. Can you (or anyone else) point me to a reference that serves as "DC Restoration for Dummies", or maybe be kind enough to try to explain it either here or privately in a way that my aging and deteriorating brain cells can understand?
I'm actually not TOO stupid, I mean I know why we use DC Rest., but I have some sets in which it's not working and I can't seem to get my head into the circuit enough to home in on the problem. Also, the concept of simply "adding a diode" to improve an existing circuit as you said you did is something that is definitely outside my ability to cook up.
Thanks in advance if you're up to making me less ignorant on the subject!
