  • Is this socket OK to reuse (personal amp)

    It's been soaked in Iso and scrubbed pretty good. I'm a ways from the city, so could I reinstall this ceramic output socket?

    My Cannibis Rex speaker got toasted somehow from this too;(

    I say a strong NO. Even after your cleaning, that socket has what looks like too much carbon based surface contamination.

        OK, I'll replace it then as I def don't want to go through that again!

          Check that there isn't carbon deposited on the PCB too.
          Some sort of mitigation for an open circuit OT secondary is always a good idea, eg http://schems.com/schematicheaven.ne...vox/ac50_1.pdf see the 470 ohm resistor across the secondary.
