Hi y'all, I remembered I have not "finished" this amp
I will leave the rectifier unmolested however will replace the original 2-prong mains connector for a grounded one.
This belongs to the "basic" questions but I think it's worth asking and leaving some example of how it's done in different amps so anyone consulting the forum in the future might benefit from it.
This is the current layout:
What I am intending to do is to:
- physically remove from the circuit the 2 capacitors marked in RED (C25 .047 1,000 V and C26 .050 600 V)
- connect the HOT (black) and NEUTRAL (white) wires of the new 3-prong cable to the ON-OFF SWITCH (making sure the HOT wire goes through the FUSE entering from the center lug)
- i understand that the HOT wire going (after the switch) either to the BLK TRANSFORMER wire or the RED / BLACK makes no difference (it certainly didn't with the 2-prong as it could have been inverted when plugging into the wall)
- (of course) the new GROUND (green) wire from the 3-prong will go to the amp's chassis
thank you guys,
