Hey all, looking for some tips for beefing up an old orange GRO100.
The owner runs it VERY HARD, like flat out into a Hotplate.
I've replaced all the filter caps, rebuilt the bias supply, retubed it and it's running great.
When screaming it into my Hotplate, the mains current is about 3.5 amps, so it popped the 3amp fuse it was rated for back in the early 70's.
I put a 4amp slo blo in, and it's holding up to the abuse.
I'm gonna put some diodes on the plates, to protect from spikes, what are some other good ideas for helping this amp cope with being run flat out?
Thanks.
