You have multiple photos of that resistor.  It is where it is, either you leave the one there that came with the amp or you pull it out and put a different one in there.

ok, thanks.

Completed one amp, after re-soldering a few connections and adjusting hum pot can't hear the hum from listening chair.  Will work on second amp after I get a few things done at work.  Will update status soon.

Thanks,
PB

PB,
Upgrade/mods. on the Wright Sound 3.5, 2A3's complete.  The hum is gone, can't hear it from listening chair. The music, I can hear the difference and I know only with time (100hrs) the caps will break in and even sound better.
Thanks PB for all your help.
Roberto

I'm glad you got it all sorted out and the hum is gone.

Hi There,

I just picked up a WPL20 but it's missing its external power supply.  I'm looking for specs, circuit diagram, etc, anything that can help me build another one.

I found a website that allegedly has the circuit diagram (contact for access), but appears to be defunct.  (audiocircuit . com)


So, I thought I'd ask here.  I can't image the layout for the PS is that complex, maybe just some detailed pics of the circuit and components might allow a deduction of the design.

Any help greatly appreciated

You'd be best off buying another WPL-20 and cloning its power supply for yours.

I'd be open to that, if it was even possible to find one...
