Nice stuff!! Thanks for sharing.

It would be incredible if Boogie would post all of these docs, especially since the updates are public knowledge (to my knowledge).

Great post. Thanks for sharing. (can someone sticky this?)

Anyone know when Randall wrote the last mod recommendation (memo on the bottom of the post)? Which amp(s) is he referring to? Does this recommendation apply to the Mark IVA?

thanks for the thanks [ can someone tell my GF i'm the man ?? ]
these notes were in the early 90's [ 90 & 91 ]
i pre mk IV , i believe

vote sticky as well!

Also there is also the 5 watt screen grid resistor mod.

I had that done on mine after a blown tube took one of mine out. I'm not sure if that value is the same on simul models or just 60 watters. It helps power handling for high powered tubes.

edit: nevermind, just read the (2x) 2700ohm 2 watt screen grid resistor mod. I suppose the value is different.
