As the title suggests...
New here, looks like a great community of folks!
A friend sent me a Magna Varsity 108 (Champ clone) to resurrect.
The large can cap had leaked all over the chassis, and there is some
moisture damage. The output tranny is shorted, so it goes, as well.
The PT looks ok, so far, I'm getting heater voltage and 400 plus volts from the 5Y3 rectifier.
This little amp is truly point to point, no eyelet or turret board!
The caps and resistors are simply strung across the pins of the 12Ax7
and 6V6. I went ahead and ordered some new axial electrolytics for the
filter caps (two), and the 6V6 cathode bias circuit cap. I'll mount these
where the canister cap was. Hopefully that will maintain the lead dress.
I'm in the process of a full rebuild. No questions yet, but I'm sure I'll run into some puzzlers somewhere.
