This time, I have done most of the job (I’m missing a pilot light but I’ll add that later.)
As you may recall, I chose to break out the power supply because I thought it might be useful in other cases. In fact, if I were to mock up the preamp of the Crestline Skylarks (130V on the plate) , this would be damn near spot on. It’s a bit light for blonde Skylark/Champ (165V on the plate) but you can’t have everything.
Power On
Here we are with an unloaded 170V. Very nice. The switch in front is standby.
The Filament power is the bottom connector. 16.4V unloaded.
Plenty of room
That’s a 12 point turret board with the discretes on it. I should probably dress those wires.
That is with power down.
WARNING : Those are good sized caps and there is still plenty of juice in them. You’ll get a nasty shock if you short the leads with power down (and much worse with power up). I should switch in a couple of resistors to ground when the power is off, but I’d need a DPDT for that and I don’t have one handy.
