Help with voltage [resolved]

You can install a wire jumper between A3 and A8.

I would resolder all of the joints in the amp, not just the ones where the LEDs connect.

Okay. How long should the jumper be? I’ll install that later tonight and then do a recheck of the voltages and post them here.

Okay. How long should the jumper be?

Long enough to reach between A3 and A8 and not touch anything else.

Okay, put the jumper cable in, the remaining LED is strongly lit, and I put in the replacement cap. The one I got is 160v 100uf but it’s a bit smaller looking. Either way, here’s my voltages. Should I be safe to try it out? 2,4,7, and 9 are on the high end but within 10% of the goal.

1. 94.8
2. 176.1
3. 0
4. 176.3
5. 93.6
6. 0
7. 115.0
8. 0
9.  117.1
10. 0

Those are functional voltages.

Works and sounds incredible! Thanks a lot for you help Paul and everyone else here!! Im sure I’ll be back when the times comes to install the Speedball

Hey Paul, just a quick question - I replaced just the cap that was bulging so the caps, while the same voltage and uf, are mismatched. Is this a problem?

If it's something that bothers you, you can certainly replace them both.

Oh no I don’t kind I just wasn’t sure if it’s something that might cause problems down the road.
