Happy New Year to everyone
After all this time I decided to build the little amp as per the schematics on this page viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6997&p=56365&hilit=pcl82#p56365
I used a new 190vac transformer with NOS 5K 5Watt opts, my question is the R1 470R 3W resistor gets quite hot, over 100 degrees Celsius within 5 minutes. Should it be that hot?
The voltage at C1 (100uF) is 212.5vdc and C2 (100uF) 161vdc does that sound about right? Is there something I need to change
Regards
Greg
