Greetings to all,
Just joined this Forum and have been restoring a 1967 Ampeg Gemini II. Was hoping someone might be able to verify the correct values for the pF capacitors embedded in the ceramic wafer.
I am rebuilding the pots and tone stack with point-to-point wirings & components.
I have a schematic from Ampeg customer service, which matches the one on the back cover of the cabinet.
I also have the Piazza version.
Here is the question:
The Ampeg original schematic shows a 0.00047uF and a 0.0047uF capacitor within the wafer. The Piazza drawings shows a 47pF and a 470 pF capacitor.
Converting all to pF, 0.00047 uF = 470 pF. And 0.0047uF = 4700 pF.
If my conversions are correct, then the Piazza drawing is in error (assuming Ampeg is correct).
I welcome comments and/or clarifications.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers .....
