UF4007 rectifier installation confusing text - Crack 1.1 manual (Rev. 2). page 70

[adelkkhalil]

Hi all,

First time builder here, working through the Crack 1.1 manual (Rev. 2). I'm on page 70, the first step of Part VI - High Voltage Power Supply and Output Wiring.

The step instructs me to install a UF4007 rectifier with the banded end to 21L and un-banded end to 19L, and mentions that 'the body of the rectifier sits just behind the previously mounted rectifier.'

My issue is that this is the very first rectifier diode in the build — there is no previously mounted rectifier before this step. Part V covered input and socket wiring with no UF4007 diodes installed.

Is this a documentation error, or am I missing something? Should I just mount this first diode at a specific position on the terminal strip without worrying about the reference to a previous rectifier?

Image showing two rectifier diodes on the terminal strip.

Also worth noting — I already caught the A9/A8 LED typo from a previous thread, so I'm being extra careful before soldering anything in this section.

Thanks in advance!

I think page 70 is duplicated from page 73

It looks correct in my version of the manual, which I just used to build a Crack two days ago. We’re on V2.2 now, you may want to grab a fresh copy from your manual download email. If you aren’t able to, send me an email at Jameson (at) Bottlehead (dot) com and I’ll set you up with a new link.

Thank you - ignored page 70 on my version of the manual and sure enough it was repeated few pages later in proper order and managed to complete the build - the amp sounds amazing and I have few tube amps around.
