Retubing a IIC+...

[Random Hero]

Ok, so I ordered the following, which should arrive tomorrow or Monday.

4 x SED Winged C 6L6
1 x Tung Sol Reissue
1 x JJ High Gain
3 x Chinese 9th Gen

I have a 6L6/EL34 mix in there at present so I'll be trying the EL34s with the fresher 6L6s too.

What I was curious about is, does anybody have a diagram detailing exactly which is V1, V2, etc etc? And do I just retube the preamp first with the power tubes out, or pull the chassis or what?

Haha, I am getting pwned all over when it comes to IIC+ threads. Thanks for that.

So do I just take the power tubes out to access the majority of the preamp?

Or just take the chassis out... it's a ***** to get back there

Right. Unplugged, but switch the amp's power "ON" for a bit to discharge the caps, right?

What's up RH? If we want to keep the level of discourse here high, and show respect for all the efforts and contributions others have made, we owe it to the board to roll up our sleeves a little before asking questions yes? You're no rookie - and I know you know you messed up -- but come on - you just did it again...... No soup for you!.
