Thanks a lot for your feedback, both the good reviews and the not so good. It's nice to have input on who to deal with and stay away from.
I have a question concerning the power supply cap replacement. The Bandmaster has 2 series connected 70 350v caps with 220k 1w bleeder resistors. It is exactly the same as Figure 3-13 in Principles of Power. I can't seem to find 70mfd 350v caps, thinking i will have to parallel the caps to get the rating. maybe i am just not very good at looking at the catalogues, but if I parallel them should I go a little higher, stiffer? Say, parallel a 47 with a 33? Are there other considerations for this connection using paralleled caps, and should I consider upgrading all the 1w resistors to 2w, the section on the series connected capacitors in POP suggests 2w.
Thanks...
