Hi Guys,
I have an old VOM single ended hi fi amp I want to convert to a tweed Champ, I wonder if you could help me determine if the transformers are up to it? Also if I could use any section of the filter cap can, it would help because the chassis is very small and it would be tough to shoehorn individual caps in there.
I see a lot of differing opinions on how much filtering should be used in this amp, from the original 8x8x16 to three 20mf caps, what's the story?
Finally, it has a 6x4 rectifier, is it ok to use it? There is no 5v rectifier tap so it's either that or SS diodes.
I've mapped out the transformers and cap can here:
