This is the underside of the SVT-CL power amp chassis. The foil side
of the main PC board is nicely exposed.
To access the component side of the circuit board, a few screws need to be
removed on the top side of the chassis.
|
|
Here you see 3 of those screws. They hold down the power tube
assembly.
In all, there are 8 black machine screws with lock washers.
|
|
With the screws out, you can probe the component side of the main board and the underside of the power tubes.
|
|
The 16-pin cable between the main board and the tube board is short.
If you raise the tube assembly too much, the cable will
disconnect.
|
|
To troubleshoot a powered-up SVT-CL, you have to reconnect
the chassis, as shown here.
A convenient way to access the whole amp is to
stand the two chassis on end.
|
|
Then you can probe both sides of the power amp board as well as the 6550
power tube sockets.
