Default Re: Restore a Beau Decca

I think me and PJL will have to agree to disagree on this one, but there's no need to include any resistors across the new capacitors. There's a circuit through L27 and L26 through to C48 and C47 and then on through to the rest of the circuit. The original resistors were just to form a potential divider balancing arrangement because of the capacitors in series arrangement and not to act as any safety discharge device. If we're going to include resistors here, then we may as well insist on resistors across ALL capacitors in power supplies in every amplifier we come across.

It's a shame you can't leave the original capacitors in place for historical reference, but I suspect one is only held in place by its connections anyway, so would fall out once disconnected. You may as well keep them in a packet with the other removed components somewhere safely in the bottom of the cabinet for any future reference.
