Suppliers (ie Mouser, Part's Express, or something else)? If so, stick with caps as close to OEM as possible? Polystyrene? If I choose to keep each amp true to their original design, how different do you think they'll be sonically?Īny cap or resistor value differences you're aware of?ĭo you think automatically updating all the caps is a good thing to do? I would be grateful for any answers to the following.ĭoes anyone know where I might find a schematic for #2? I realize there are differing opinions on mods. I have not tried to reconcile either schematic with my actual amps, so can't say how similar or different they are. I also found schematics for an A-116-A, which seems near to #2, but with different transformers. I plan to dust off my VT theory and soldering iron (yes I'm that old) and get these amps serviceable while keeping them as near stock as possible.Īmp #1: MC-30, Type A-116-B, power trans. I am blessed! As an EE and budget audiophile, this is a dream come true. After 20 years of pestering, a friend of mine gave me the two mc-30 amps that her late father had.
