I have finally managed to get my hands on a KB FB10 'Toaster'. Regettably however the phantom component thief has been in there! I am busy trying to see what's gone but I have two questions ....

(1) Looking at Trader Service Sheet no. 969, C13 is quoted as being 0.1pF. This MUST surely be wrong.

(2) My set has a 6BW6 fitted for V4. The service sheet talks about a 6V6GT (different base of course). Is this someone's botch or is this a recognised factory fit at some point during its production run?

(3) R13 is quoted as being 113R (comprising 150R and 470R in parallel). My set only has 1 x 150R. Again is this normal, or is it likely that the 470R has been pinched by the phantom?

(4) Were the following caps TCC-type waxes ... C1, C8, C9, C13, C15, C18, C19? Does anyone know what the original voltage ratings were please?

Thank you in anticipation of your help.

Regards,

Andy
