Re: Cooper Smith Amplifier
The reason for low resolution is that the system limits the size of the file
Send me a PM with your email address and I'll email it to you. |

Re: Cooper Smith Amplifier
Hi Michael, the Prodigy circuit shows a single O/P sec, but the continuation of the article the following month has wiring details to the 5 pin plug, can you upload this?
I've been looking for the Bantam circuit but can't find it. This was possibly a stripped down version of the Prodigy and may be what Gonzini has. Ed |

Re: Cooper Smith Amplifier
Just a heads up to say thanks for the help so far!
Michael has kindly passed on the scans he has of the Prodigy, that will gave me something to look at. Run out of time to get it on the bench again today, maybe tomorrow.... |

Re: Cooper Smith Amplifier
If you really want to work it out the best method is to use a low voltage AC transformer to inject some voltage into the primary then measure the secondaries to obtain the ratios.

Re: Cooper Smith Amplifier
The book does show wiring with 5 pin plugs for the speakers.
I'm quite happy to scan the whole book and post on here but I'm a bit concerned about the resolution aspect. I'll use Photoshop to convert to PDF and we'll go from there, otherwise I'll have to email it to you directly. |

Re: Cooper Smith Amplifier
Good plan with the ratios, l'll have to have a read up with that one.
Wiring for the 5 pin sockets would be good as well if its same! |

Re: Cooper Smith Amplifier
I have scanned in the entire book except the rear cover.
I've put them in PDF format so as to get the highest resolution on the forum. |

Re: Cooper Smith Amplifier
Blimey Miichael you've really gone for it!
Ive seen the speaker wiring on the sockets, that all ties in with what ive seen on this chassis. l'll have a read though it all when i get home and check out the output TX and the wiring. Many thanks again for all your help with this one! Hopefully the next post will be news of a good result, though its does need recapping and making safe |

Re: Cooper Smith Amplifier
If anyone's interested, there is a free program that will merge all these PDFs into a single multi-page file.
