I'm looking over the manual for the paramour IIs in preparation for replacing the defective 12at7 socket and as I'm tracing out the schematic and checking against the parts list, I see a couple of things that need clearing up.
The parts list specifies that there are 4 0.1uF film caps, which mean there would be two per side, but I only see one cap in the circuit and only one instance of a cap like this in the instructions. I'll assume that the quantity is a typo.
Regarding the cathode bypass cap, is there a reason why this is a 350 volt rated part? Maybe another inventory management decision as with the stereomour?? My quickie calculations say that a 63-100 v rated cap here should be fine for either 45 or 2a3 config. Does this sound about right?
Also, any problem going to a 100 uF dual 450v jensen cap for the PS caps? I have a couple of these and would like to use them here if it won't pose any problem. I don't see where it will, but just want to make sure.
Also, regarding the sonically critical resistor on the C4S board, is that the smaller one located directly next to the transistor?
Thanks,
Jim
