Corrected schematics for Crate V-18 (I got 'em!)

[Steve A.]

I'm posting this in the general Guitar Amps forum to make sure that anyone attempting to work on this amp can see it.

I found and corrected at least 30 mistakes in reference numbers on the preamp and power amp schematics when compared to the layout drawing and the actual board. If you are trying to follow modding instructions using the wrong reference numbers you could end up in big trouble. (At this time I do not have a list of the corrections I made so you will have to compare these drawings to the factory schematics... sorry!)

I saw no errors with the layout drawings but I did include cropped versions which should print out larger. And I did absolutely nothing with the switching power supply board since that stuff is WAY over my head...

P.S. I've attached the two GIF files, but I can't view them when I click on them. Would that be a problem with the site here or with my browser?

hey steve, FWIW it works (one click or two--i.e. same tab or new tab). Firefox.
