I forwarded your e-mail to the replacement parts address to get you another download.

When in doubt about solder joints, just reheat them all.  This is what I do for any kit repair that I get in.  Reflowing all the joints in a Crack takes me 10-20 minutes at most.

I will do it , thank Paul. I have to admit again I've never encountered customer service like yours, maybe it's because of the country I live in, yet, I have to put it to your credit. Thanks and appreciation.

I check my voltages before 2 and 5 is 191v and 7 is 115v.
I rechecked my apartment outlets and it 240.1.
When I solder the power I did it for up to 235.
Do I need to change it? May it damage the amp?

The real problem is that I sometimes use outlets that give out about 228-235
And in my other apartment it’s 240.1 .
What do you think I should do?

The manual says 170V +/-10%, so there's no issue there.
7 is 115v.
The manual says 7 can be 90-115V.

Do I need to change it? May it damage the amp?
No.

What do you think I should do?
Nothing... listen to the amp instead of worrying about it.

After speedball, I’m satisfied, all working well with my cbs jhy 5814A.
The only thing that disappoints me is the stock 12au7 that making so much static and chucking,
I do not know the reason to it... barely used it, and can’t be use now because all of the unbearable noise. At least the cbs I dead quiet.

Try letting that tube run for 50-100 hours, often times some run in time will resolve issues like that.
