Thought I'd share my investigations and seek advice on next steps. First off, with my headphones I don't have to adjust the AF gain from what I use for the speaker. So, I think the 100 ohm resistor theory probably won't help, but I admit I didn't try that yet.
As for filter caps, there are a pair of 1000 uF discretes on a separate board along with an 8 uF one, plus a can that is labelled 60-40-20 uF, all at 150V ratings. I found that my two schematics differed on how many 1000 uF caps there are, but I can't find any 60 or 40 in the diagrams, just 50, 20, and 10 uF at 150V. That aside, it should not be too difficult to replace the 1000 uF caps provided I can detach the board far enough to get my iron in there. I think I may leave the "can" alone for the time being. Should I also replace the power line bypass caps (.001)? Won't a failure of those introduce some ripple as well? 73, Casey, KS7J --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
