[Jukebox-list] trashcan amp

[dirksenj at bellsouth.net]

Jason - I believe there were two different amps used in the trashcan series 
and there were minor revisions along the way. Operators were known for 
swapping amps from another machine. Are you sure the diagram you have 
matches the amp? Also, chances are in an amp that old, someone has already 
made minor repairs in the past. Many times you will see a section of the can 
capacitors (on top) replaced with single units underneath. For ease of 
installation, they will usually be soldered in a different physical location 
in the amp. So it may look like the wiring is different when in fact the 
electrical circuitry is the same. I hesitate to give amp repair advice to a 
beginner because it can be dangerous work. But if you must proceed, cut out 
one capacitor at a time and replace it immediately before cutting out any 
more. You really don't need the diagram for this if you take it slow. Keep 
your fingers out of there with the power on. I could be persuaded to send 
photos of the amp in my 147 if you have the same model amp in yours. Let me 
know,

Jim

Subject: [Jukebox-list] trashcan amp


Hi I've decided to give recapping a 148 trashcan amp a go and am struggling 
a little, I have the manual and I'm having a little trouble following the 
schematics in that a couple of wires aren't running where they say they 
should be.  The amp worked before I started but definately needed a rebuild. 
Anyway I am hoping someone may be able to send some photo's of the underside 
of a  trashy amp, rebuilt or original, I am hoping someone else has one out 
on a bench too. I know the manual has photo's but they are a little hard to 
see for checking on mistakes.

Thanks

Jason
