FP 2 one channel out

[Paul Birkeland]

I'd reheat the joint between 4 and 5 to be sure.  A flaky joint there will produce the issue you're describing.

He is right.  That is quicker fix than checking for the voltages.  If indeed that is the problem.

[1108]

Thanks guys. I'll give that a try a little later today.

Finally had the time to check the connection. Good news. The tube glows and I get music out of that channel. Grainger and PB, thanks for you help.

[Grainger49]

Awesome!  A local tube buddy loaned me a different line stage yesterday.  I doubt it will outshine the FP 2.

I'd be curious to hear your impression after you've checked it out.

A few years ago I picked up a Dynaco PAS after hearing all the hype. I did all the mods, recap,bypassed controls, rebuilt the power supply, etc, etc. It sounded good, but nearly as good as the FP.

The FP was my first build. And well, it looks like a first build. I've thought about rebuilding it. If I could find my notes about the snubbers and adding a choke I think I would. I'm still not interested in replacing it.

[Grainger49]

1108, can you work from a schematic?  I can send you a schematic for snubbers and the PS choke.

I have done a few more tweaks as well.

The FP III rolled many of the online tweaks into it.

[1108]

Yes I can work from a schematic. Thanks for the offer. I'd be interested what other tweaks you may have done.

[Grainger49]

You will get a PM.

[1108]

Looking forward to it. Thanks
