Build A Great VPO - Part 3: Amp Repair
Build a great Virtual Pipe Organ (VPO) A dying gasp . . . audio amplifier Just before disassembling the Thomas Transistor organ to create a VPO, I tried turning it on for one last listen. I wanted to sample a few of the basic sounds for later use building a sample set or synthesizer patches. It hadn’t been used for quite some time, though I had no reason to suspect it wouldn’t work.

Dynaco Repair Post No. 6: The Glow Renewed
Tuesday evening, 12-26-23
I was completely caught off guard by the box by the front door when I got back from Bunny Duty/Safeway/Post Office errands today. Things are supposed to be delivered starting tomorrow, three different packages, but nothing was scheduled to come today.
Busted out in a big grin as soon as I saw it was from my bud in SC: The EL34s got here two days early! So...I was completely (and delightedly) doing something much different this evening than I had planned!
In the box were five tubes, all of them "good spares" I had personally pulled out of working ST70s I had. I'd de-tubed them before I sold them on eBay. They went to afore-mentioned friend who was going to use them in HIS Dynaco, but hadn't yet. He sent 'em back to me, four of the square-bottled Mullards (three of 'em original Dynaco-branded actual Mullards), and one "Winged C" (the Russian iteration), and a JJ as a spare. These had been in one of the systems I'd set up for ANOTHER of our buddies (my bestie who died in 2021). Old, but good, solid tubes with lots of life left in 'em.
The 5AR4 I have is the original one. The silvering at the top is almost non-existent. It's a US-made Mullard clone:
Gorgeous, ain't it?
SO...I got the ST70 ready for relaunch. Put it on the bench and hooked it up to my trusty old Micronta variac, set to "Zero Volts", got the fuse in, and switched it on.
Started out slowly turning it up to 10V, and waiting 15 minutes, and then turned it up another 10V to 20V, and waiting 15 more minutes, lather, rinse, repeat, until I got it up to about 117V.
At about 40V I began to see the barest glow in all but one tube (that Winged C). At 50V, it began to glow as well. So far so good. After about an hour, I'd nursed it up to 70V, every tube glowing strong. I let it sit at 70V for about a half hour, and then just slowly turned the knob on the variac up to 117.
Every tube came up like a champ. The ST70 Glows once again!
I let it sit and burn for about an hour, and checked the bias voltages. I had set the two adjustment pots to their center point. The left channel needed the slightest of increase (probably due to the Winged C) to get it up to the correct voltage, but the right channel was dead-set-centered on 1.56V. Boom. Rock solid. Done.
Now that the repairs are done, and I know everything is working, I will start tomorrow on re-connecting and re-arranging all the components in the system. I'm kinda spent at the moment...it's been quite a day! I'll post more tomorrow, but for tonight I call it a victory. All of the thanks go to my buddies @misfitwashere (who got me the parts) and our old compadre "Harbourmaster" on the East Coast, who sent the tubes.
More tomorrow, and to all a bitchin' Good Night.
Wednesday Night, 12-27-23
Well, it took awhile, but I finally got things re-wired and in position. Got the turntable and the FM3 hooked up and both work splendidly. I found a super-shielded RCA cable for the turntable specifically, and it sounds better...there's almost no need for the turntable ground wire now!
First, tho', I have to show off my speakers. These started their lives as Pioneer boxes, Model CS-44, to be exact. I got them at the thrift store for $25.
BUT: the 8-inch woofers and tweeters in them were garbage, so I replaced them with new components: A pair of 8" butyl-rubber surround, poly-cone woofers (they will never need reconing), and a pair of genuine Danish SEAS Tweeters, salvaged from a working pair of Dynaco A-25s.
The result? The 8-Inch Dynaco Speaker That Never Was! The A-10s had 6-inch woofers, and all the others had 10-inch woofers.
And the sonic result? A pair of mid-sized bookshelf speakers with rock-solid bass and the clearest, most well-defined mids and highs you could ever want to hear! And they don't look bad, either!
Here is everything finally in place:
And that about wraps it up! I've finally got my music back. I'll finally be able to continue my vinyl transcribing, and won't have to worry about my equipment for another good long while.
Many thanks again to my bros @misfitwashere and Harbourmaster. I couldn't have gotten it accomplished without y'all's help.

I haven't even heard it yet but it's already my favourite amplifier! 🥰
1966 @traynor_amps#YGA1 A Signature amp. I bought it* because it's a cool old script logo #Traynor, and although I had never seen one before, I didn't realize just how rare this model is until I posted it in the Traynor Facebook group. The word "unicorn" is not bandied about lightly by those Traynor nerds, lemme tell you!** 😉
I just know it is going to be a beast. It's basically a guitar version of the more famous YBA1 bass amp, so it packs 45 watts into a single 15" speaker. It's filthy because it has been in storage since 1971, but all original right down to the two pronger. I dare not flip that power switch on because all sorts of bad things can happen when an amplifier has been sitting for years and you run full wall voltage into it all at once. My amp tech��@marshalllespaulfan will be doing a complete checkup before bringing it up slowly on a VARIAC (a device that allows you to gradually increase the voltage from 0 to the full 120 volts of North American AC, rather than just hitting the amp with the full wall current straight away). I am guessing he also has some kind of light-bulb contraption that acts as a current limiter (if there is a short circuit anywhere in the amp, the bulb takes the full brunt of the uncontrolled current flow instead of the amp components being damaged). He is also going to test the original tubes to see if they are still within spec.
Can't wait until it's up and running again (and CLEAN)! 😂
*OK, technically my buddy @tomgibson3783 bought it for me, but I digress... 🤣 ** If you are interested in Traynors, and still have a Facebook account (lol) check it out "The TAO of Tone" group. Tell Nick, the admin, that your pal DeeBeeUs™ sent you. It won't get you anything special but please do it anyway! PS: TAO stands for "Traynor Amp Owners" making this the most cleverly named group on social media full stop.😂

Orange Bass Terror 1000
This amp really gave me a hard time. This amp belongs to the bass player for my band. The original issue was that the signal would cut out in the middle of practice or shows and the head would just fizzle out and shut down.
My initial thoughts were that the class D power amp was failing due to overheating. On the bench, heat seemed fine, fan kicked on with no issues and parts weren’t getting too hot, but voltages were not normal in the power supply. These amps have a smps mounted on the top of the amp.
I spent some time replacing dodgy electrolytic caps in the switching part of the power supply. Didn’t help. I flipped the amp over, voltages seemed okay for the most part but at the first power amp mosfet, there was a short between all three legs. I replaced that mosfet and the amp started to blowing fuses every time I powered it up on the variac and the fan and indicator light weren’t turning on anymore. Tracing that back through the power supply, one of the switching mosfets had failed causing the bridge rectifier, and power switching IC to fail as well. I replaced the mosfets, the IC, and the bridge rectifier.
Now we had decent voltages to most of the amp except for the -53V rail which was way off.
I started testing diodes and found that D5 in the power amp was shorted.
Of course that diode is totally inaccessible without removing the huge inductor. Once the inductor was out, the diode wasn’t reading short anymore. I was able to trace this back and the only thing that made sense was another failing power amp mosfet.
I went through and replaced the rest of the power amp mosfets and we were rocking.
Special thanks to my Rigol DS1052E on this one. Couldn’t have done it without you.

Za hranice základního těsta: Kreativní recepty na palačinky, které potěší vaše chuťové pohárky
Palačinky jsou univerzálním komfortním jídlem, oblíbené pro svou jednoduchost a všestrannost. Proč se ale spokojit s obyčejnými, když můžete vytvořit kousky plné jedinečných chutí? Představte si, že proměníte tradiční snídani v gurmánský zážitek pouhými několika úpravami těsta. V tomto článku se ponoříme do kreativních receptů na palačinky, které pozvednou vaše kuchařské dovednosti a oslní vaše chuťové pohárky. Pojďme začít s inspirací z https://palacinky.org/, vašeho konečného zdroje pro vše o palačinkách!
Kreativita v palačinkách
Palačinky jsou jako prázdná plátna čekající na přeměnu v mistrovská díla. Klasická verze je nepopiratelně lahodná, ale objevování nových chutí a kombinací může proměnit snídani v dobrodružství. Ať už máte rádi sladké nebo slané, existuje recept na palačinky pro každého.
Proč experimentovat s palačinkami?
Proč zůstávat u obyčejných palačinek, když možnosti jsou nekonečné? Experimentování s recepty na palačinky je jako zkoušet různé outfity – je to zábavné, vzrušující a může to úplně změnit náladu vaší snídaně. Nav��c je to skvělý způsob, jak využít zbytky nebo nenápadně přidat živiny, aniž by si toho někdo všiml.
Základní těsto: Jak ho udělat správně
Než začnete být kreativní, potřebujete pevný základ. Zde je osvědčený recept na univerzální těsto na palačinky:
Ingredience: Mouka, prášek do pečiva, cukr, vejce, mléko a máslo.
Tipy na míchání: Smíchejte suché ingredience zvlášť, poté vmíchejte mokré ingredience, dokud se právě nespojí. Pár hrudek je v pořádku – během vaření se samy rozpustí.
Tento základ lze nekonečně přizpůsobit vašim chuťovým preferencím.
Sladké a ovocné variace palačinek
Ovocné palačinky jsou oblíbené u všech. Zde je několik nápadů k vyzkoušení:
Borůvkové palačinky s citronovou kůrou: Přidejte čerstvé borůvky a špetku citronové kůry pro osvěžující nádech.
Jablečné palačinky se skořicí: Zamíchejte nastrouhaná jablka a špetku skořice do těsta pro útulnou podzimní atmosféru.
Tropické palačinky s ananasem a kokosem: Přidejte drcený ananas a strouhaný kokos pro chuť tropů.
Každá variace přinese vašemu snídaňovému stolu závan chuti.
Slané palačinky pro vydatný nádech
Kdo říká, že palačinky musí být sladké? Slané verze jsou stejně lahodné:
Palačinky s čedarem a pažitkou: Skvělé jako příloha k polévkám nebo salátům.
Palačinky se špenátem a fetou: Výživná volba plná živin.
Palačinky se slaninou a kukuřicí: Přidejte rozdrobenou slaninu a sladká kukuřičná zrna pro sladko-slanou kombinaci.
Slané palačinky jsou dostatečně univerzální pro jakékoli jídlo během dne.
Dekadentní palačinky pro milovníky čokolády
Milovníci čokolády, radujte se! Palačinky mohou být také dezertem:
Palačinky s dvojitou čokoládou: Přidejte kakao a čokoládové kousky do těsta.
Palačinky plněné Nutellou: Uvnitř vás čeká překvapení s lžičkou Nutelly.
Palačinky s příchutí S’mores: Ozdobte mini marshmallows, drobenkou z grahamových sušenek a čokoládovou polevou.
Veganské a bezlepkové palačinky
Speciální diety neznamenají vzdát se lahodných palačinek:
Veganské palačinky: Nahraďte vejce rozmačkanými banány nebo lněným semínkem a použijte mandlové nebo ovesné mléko.
Bezlepkové palačinky: Nahraďte běžnou mouku mandlovou moukou nebo bezlepkovými směsmi.
Palačinky z cizrnové mouky: Vysoký obsah bílkovin a přirozeně bezlepkové, ideální pro slanou variantu.
Zdravé neznamená nudné.
Mezinárodní inspirace pro palačinky
Prozkoumejte světové tradice palačinek:
Palacinky (Slovensko): Tenké a jemné, plněné marmeládou nebo sladkými náplněmi.
Japonské suflé palačinky: Nadýchané a třaslavé, jsou opravdovým uměním.
Dósa (Indie): Slané, tenké palačinky z fermentované rýže a čočkové mouky.
Každá země přináší do světa palačinek svou jedinečnou chuť.
Používání koření a bylinek k vylepšení chuti
Koření a bylinky mohou povýšit vaše palačinky na novou úroveň:
Skořice a muškátový oříšek: Přidávají sladkým palačinkám hřejivost a hloubku.
Rozmarýn a tymián: Propůjčují slaným palačinkám voňavou chuť.
Kardamom a hřebíček: Perfektní pro exotické nebo sváteční recepty.
Špetka koření může udělat obrovský rozdíl.
Kreativní polevy a sirupy
Ozdobte své palačinky s fantazií:
Domácí ovocná omáčka: Čerstvá, pikantní a snadná na přípravu.
Slaný karamel: Dekadentní přeliv pro bohatá rána.
Slané polevy: Vyzkoušejte smetanový sýr, uzeného lososa nebo plátky avokáda.
Správná poleva může povýšit vaše palačinky na mistrovské dílo.
Sváteční palačinky
Oslavte zvláštní příležitosti tematickými palačinkami:
Palačinky s příchutí dýňového koření: Ideální pro podzimní rána.
Perníkové palačinky: Oblíbené o svátcích s melasou a kořením.
Valentýnské palačinky ve tvaru srdce: Přidejte pár kapek potravinářského barviva a použijte formičky ve tvaru srdce.
Tyto sváteční varianty přinesou radost na váš stůl.
Palačinky plné bílkovin pro fitness nadšence
Vylepšete své palačinky extra dávkou bílkovin:
Palačinky s proteinovým práškem: Přidejte odměrku svého oblíbeného prášku do těsta.
Palačinky s řeckým jogurtem: Krémové, plné bílkovin a jemně kyselé.
Palačinky s tvarohem: Nízkosacharidová volba, která je nadýchaná a sytá.
Dopřejte si energii na celý den s těmito výživnými recepty.
Tipy na obracení a prezentaci
Dokonalé palačinky jsou o detailech:
Tipy na obracení: Počkejte, až se na povrchu objeví bublinky a okraje ztuhnou, než otočíte.
Prezentace: Stohujte úhledně, pomalu lijte sirup a ozdobte ovocem nebo mátou.
Trocha snahy při prezentaci udělá vaše palačinky neodolatelnými.
Palačinky jako zábava pro děti
Zapojte děti a udělejte z palačinek zábavnou rodinnou aktivitu:
Nechte je míchat těsto a vybírat polevy.
Použijte formičky na vykrajování pro zábavné tvary.
Vytvořte palačinkové obličeje s ovocem a čokoládovými kousky.
Vaření společně dělá palačinky ještě chutnějšími.
Závěr: Vaše palačinkové dobrodružství čeká
Palačinky nejsou jen jídlo – jsou to zážitek. Objevováním těchto kreativních receptů proměníte obyčejnou snídani v mimořádnou hostinu. Ať už krmíte celou rodinu, nebo si dopřáváte jen sami pro sebe, možnosti jsou nekonečné. Tak popadněte špachtli, probuďte v sobě šéfkuchaře a užijte si tuto lahodnou cestu!

Is This True?
This is 100% true.
UK electrical stuff runs at 50 Hz and 230 volts, while here in the US it's 60 Hz and 120 volts. Marshall amps are typically made out of European and Russian parts because Jim Marshall copied the Fender Bassman circuit for his amps, but couldn't get the parts in the UK, nor have the proper electicity to do so. The vintage ones are optimal using UK electricity, and this is not snake oil bullshit.
We don't have the same electrical grid, and when you consider that a) the amp is an electical device, b) you're getting almost double the voltage out of UK outlets, and c) the beauty of these amps is when they're pushed to the limit...it makes sense that a UK amp would sound better through UK grids.
It's the same reason Fender amps sound better in the US.
It's the same reason Eddie Van Halen used a device called the Variac on his vintage Marshalls.
It's the same reason that AC/DC had their roadies carry around this giant, expensive piece of equipment that allowed them to replicate UK voltage and Hz anywhere in the world.
All this has been figured out now, and it's a non issue. But for vintage amps? Oh man, it's a big ass deal. You gotta remember that if you want a 3-pronged cable on your vintage amp that was made before 1970, you're going to have to do minor surgery. We just live in a diffrerent world now. Sure it sounds shittier in almost every way, but at least we don't have electricity issues like we used to.
So yea, this checks out big time.
