47/63 comes out to 47uf (microfarad) / 63 volts

imagine how great it would sound (and how much more reliable it would be) if you replaced all the molex connectors with something more solid-grabbing and air-tight... trifurcon http://www.molex.com/cmc_upload/0/000/195/764/J074-7674.pdf ive used these on other machines, but have had zero problems w...

what part of it seems to be a good platform? just asking. a $79 mic pre doesnt seem like a good paltform for much. and if buying a wall wart is too risky then any mods would be much more than $79. jensen mic transformers would be a good start. then redsign the amplifier to load the transformer corre...

I have compiled these bits of info from wiki and others but I thought others would be just as interested:: solder 63/37: melts at 183 ?C (361.4 ?F) (eutectic: the only mixture that melts at a point, instead of over a range) 60/40: melts between 183?190 ?C (361?374 ?F) 50/50: melts between 185?215 ?C...

2 things 1 is your friend a stickler for the exact tone? then you ll need to get the exact same speaker. (and hell hear the difference between the new one and the old one if he didnt blow both so thats $250 right there) 2 is he just going to blow the next set of speakers? then load the cabinet with ...
