[QUOTE="Ampdog, post: 99246, member: 144"] Leonsound, A rather urgent warning here. In your post #112 near the centre of the photo (P1060799.JPG), you show one of the 470 ohm EL34 bias resistors (the big white one) right close to its electrolytic capacitor. This resistor will get quite hot, and heat is the worst enemy of electrolytic capacitors! You will do well to get this capacitor as far away as possible from the resistor, not next to it. This is generally true for other circuit elements, but electrolytic caps are particularly sensitive in the heat department. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
