Title: Quickie build resistance readings
Post by: mkane on February 21, 2015, 08:23:15 PM

   On the A side. Rotary switch 8&9 I'm getting 18.5
                          Terminal strip #4    "       "       20+  Both should be 1.07
    B side is good. Re soldering doesn't seem to do it.

Did you, by chance, swap the 1.07K resistors with the 475K resistors?  (Check the writing on the parts)

  Ashamed to post a pic of this 'birds nest' but here it is. B side tests fine. And I thought this was going to be a piece of cake. I believe the resisters are in there correct spots.

It's hard to say, you can easily measure the resistors across the output jacks to double check.

  Are all 4 of those brn resistors the same?  Better pic. So just stick the leads of the meter across  the out jacks.

No they are not. PBs suggestion to measure them is a very good one.

   I had black probe on ground buss and red on b out  measured .458. A out measured 1.069

  The 2 resistors on the left side are backwards. I hope thats the problem. I need to get in the car and head to the airport to pick up my wife. I thank you both very much and I'll be in touch in the morning. Enjoy your evening. One more thing. How do I incorporate this with my Steromour?

  Bingo and were done. Everything reads just right. Now to figure out how to incorporate this with the Stereomour. I'm thinking Phone pre to outputs, Quickie inputs to Stereomour in?  Ive have it running bit sound only in red side. I'mm measure again.

  Resistance/voltage checks are good. I've reversed tubes also.

  And when I pull the black side interconnect there's a loud buzz

The phono pre output would go the Quickie input. Quickie output goes to Stereomour input.

  Just getting this loud buzz

  I had sound from one side once, but now theres none. It's more of a hum

  Well, she's working now and sounds fantastic. It's going to take a few days of critical listening to see what this has brought to the system. We have 3 turntables in rotation but I think I'll stick to the VPI.  The amps are pushin Cornwalls. Playing a bit of Joe Bonamassa.

Edit. I'm running the Stereomour's volume control wide open and fine tuning with the quickie's.

  I have the PJCSS upgrade but no assembly instructions.
