[QUOTE="gbyleveldt, post: 73435, member: 122"] You HAVE TO, HAVE TO, HAVE TO insulate all those transistors!!! Both the MJE's and the MJL's! Looking at the schematic, the collectors (always the centre pin and tab on power transistors) aren't common to either ground or the opposite pairs. Insulation can be by means of silicone or Mica washers. Mica performs better, but is much more fragile and takes some care to use. It's recommended for Class A amplifiers over silicone. I'm not seeing insulating washers in the pic, but they can be Mica which is transparent. [/QUOTE]
