Re: Amplifone replacement is here!!

Re: VECTOR: Amplifone replacement is here!!Well,

All of mine show some kind of corrosion in the wires comming out of the transformer, so they must fail some time in the future.

Out of the 3 units I have, one was certainly open circuit on the HV winding, I tried to fix it by unwinding/resoldering/re-encapsulating etc...but its still playing up.....

If you could incorporate the HV diode in the design that would be even better !!!

Cheers, Colin

  Hi Colin, Thanks
  Yes the 6100 is next on my list, not thought about the 802...do you think there is much demand for that one?

    Well done Simon, hope they work out well.... I'd have one, but I could really do with an Amp Monitor in my SW first I guess :-(
     
    All we need now are G05-802 and WG6100 replacements, Any thoughts on doing these ??
     
    Cheers, Colin

      True there is no soak test like running it for a year or two but as I will offer new for broken its not really that much of a problem. Also I'm sure the materials used now are much better than the poor quality or underrated materials that caused the reds to die. That story about the guy with the cigar is funny but c'mon...ruined all of them? maybe a few hundred, Just poor design maybe.
      No cover needed.....you can flame these things all day long, I earn way too much money in my day job to waste my time trying rip off a few collectors :) with some transformers that you guys have already been taken to the cleaners by WinCon
