gonna check later today.  I borrowed a capacitor checker too, so that will give another data point on whats up with those.

Hi Paul,

These are the measurements with the pjccs outputs moved.

A2/A6     21.39v/21.4v
B2/B6     22.74v/22.74v
A5          1.697v
B5          1.712v
A3          0v
B3          0v

Thanks,

Dave

Here are the capacitance measurements for the 150uf caps:

90uf
85uf

Is that normal to be that far off 150uf?

There are the measurements for the 220uf caps:

110uf
110uf

Well, the problem seems to have gone away.

Are you still hearing only one channel?

I haven't tried hooking it back up yet, looks like it would be safe to do that now.  The one thing that I did besides disconnecting the PJCCS outputs was disconnect A6 (from one of the posts further up), and after realizing that was the wrong wire, re-soldered it (it comes from the terminal strip on the A side).  Maybe it was just a marginal solder joint.

Hi,

Just tested the Quickie, and both sides work!  Guessing I should probably solder the pjccs wires back in (to their original locations).  What about the black gate caps, think i can put those back in too?  It definitely sounds better with them (there was a little bit of a grainy sound without having any caps in that location).

Dave,

Do that one step at a time.  Swap the PJCCS back first.  Then after verifying it works put the BG caps back.

The PJCCS does not care which side is which, but I would restore it just so that next time there's a question, you know the wiring matches the manual.

Yeah, put the caps back - making sure they are oriented correctly.
