I am currently looking a one of MARS valve amps that looks very interesting.

    Current Limiting Bulb Advise needed

    Would it not be saver to start with the 60W globe and then move up to the 100W globe 100W/230V = 0.43A 60W/230V = 0.26A 30W/230V = 0.13A from what i read the amp needs 100mA per channel in IDLE 15W/230V = 0.06A Way to Small

    Fluke MM Calibration

    So i got a quote for calibration on my Fluke 75 and it will cost me R460, at this stage i am in 2 minds on sending it in, if i take a 9v battery and take readings from the Fluke and from my Midas MM i am getting 0.1 - 0.17v difference, from the 2 I suspect it will go higher with higher voltages.

    RS-TA90 JLH 100W Amp Restore and Fix

    i was hopeing to avoid this method, but if it needs to be done it will be done. my problem came in, that with all the burnt plastic and copper you can't always see what all is connected on a specific track but testing will tell me.
