minermark Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Up from Nap, scotch shopping. Killing the last of the coffee from this morning. Internet orders done, i think, BM mix and BBQ sauce from Mo on the way. Shipping really sucks on some items but it's all about the weight. Yep we are already pushing 80s here....again for the next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEFKlipsch Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Afternoon all.....no effect from the storm here....just busy busy weekend Friday was Homecoming Game and daughter as (reluctantly) on Homecoming Court....so went to the Parade and Game....we got the much needed divisional win. Saturday was spent starting to clean out the new digs......man....75 years of collecting stuff.....lots of trips to the dump ahead. took over 1000 pounds of stuff this weekend. Ever heard the phrase "Don't know sh*t from Shinola".....well apparently Shinola was Shoe Polish......they went out of business in the late 50's.....found like four bottles of the stuff in a kitchen drawer. Pulling up some of the carpeting....floors are toast...and too many gaps to use as permanent flooring. Dad came by and we assessed the situation. He called his buddy at the sawmill and he told us that he'd cut us a deal since dad uses him so much.....1x6x8 heart pine rough cut for $1/board....well then run those through dad's planer and sander before install.....dad thinks we can do it all in a weekend. Kitchen cabinets are actually in great shape...just need to be cleaned, sanded and painted....new countertops are needed.....deciding between butcherblock or concrete Have a buddy going by one day this week to bushhog the field and till my wife up a 20x30 plot for her garden.....she's itching to go ahead and plant mustards, collards, kale and swiss char Have a few out buildings that need to be torn down and either burned or hauled to dump. Gonna be a hard few weeks....hope to be in by Thanksgiving......once real demo starts I'll start posting pics of progress. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStewMan Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) I had great plans for the bathroom this weekend but, let's see, what went wrong While splitting time between the bathroom and garage I had a mishap in the bathroom. Carl, perhaps you should start a "Depends" thread? It's nothing to be ashamed about probably--happens to a lot of people, it's just part of life.

CECAA850 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 It was a mishap, not a blowout. No racing stripes were created at THAT particular time. True story. I'll never forget another time my brother and I were working on a small bathroom. We took an early supper and went to a local burger joint for burgers and beer then went back to work in the bathroom. Our GI tracts must be fairly similar as we began outgassing at the same time a fairly rapid and loud pace. We laughed so hard we had to stop working a couple times. Thank god for fart fans. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minermark Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Afternoon Gang Up from a restfull Monday. Purchased Scotch online from Lagavulin, the wife had a request for her own, and i figured since she is buyin, i better get her what she wants. Guinness Blonde & French Butter Cookies is a pretty good lunch. These interesting snacks will be my undoing 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minermark Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Hello there Todd! If you want to see things spin up, just push the RIGHT tension lever UPWARD, you will here the cooling / drive motor spin up, then your play and fast forward should work. Don't be alarmed while in play mode that the TAKEUP motor will spin in the OPOSITE direction! These are 'eddy current' rewind/forward motors that keep even tension on the tape (in either direction) while in PLAY.... Have fun my friend Mark, I surely will keep everyone abreast of the Dynaco situation... Clearly, the problem is with what is DRIVING the right hand '88... Red plating follows the single SOCKET, not the tubes.... Any '88 I have swapped out will red plate in that socket only.. As soon as I finish my testing tomorrow evening, I will post and hopefully have a solution... .....Gary I hope the hell it is not the input transformer, way back when i had a tube go bad (Short) it then shorted the transformer that then went high voltage, determind this by checking the output voltage from the other channel with leads disconnected. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minermark Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Tuesday brings me to my LEAST fav dude on this planet, Dentist, and i hear tell he's wanting to keep"One" of old my faithfull lower teeth and i'll be minus this for at least 6mo then implant time, oh joy. Iv reserved a bar stool for mid morning after Meanwile the wife is making me my last meal, Bison Meatloaf. Think i'll have another Blonde.....Guinness that is. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) Good evening friends........... Read through a couple days postings to catch up on the latest weather, storms, naps and adult beverages ... Anyway, I wanted to report my findings with the Dynaco amp. First off, took all tubes out, checked voltages at the sockets, everything checked out FINE! Brought home my solder station, re-soldered all points on the pre-stage PC board and all points concerning the upgraded bias circuits/components... Turned that amp on, still have one tube red plating ! Started swapping out KT-88s ... It was getting pretty confusing. Swapping out tubes and finding TWO OEM Gold Lion originals (1965) were red plating when paired together!! I took the two Russian Gold Lions (matched quad for the Mark III rebuilding back in 2009) from the left channel amp, plugged into the troublesome right amp and they performed perfectly, the bias voltage was stable etc. This told me that I SURELY had a bad tube NOT amp... Here is where it got strange. After much swapping and trying to keep track why only certain combinations would cause one tube to red plate, then swap out it's neighbor ONLY, and it would NOT red plate! Turns out, the tube that was NOT red plating was BAD and was causing any other tube to red plate when paired with it! This tube also DID NOT have the blue 'glow' on the glass bottle as the others did which seemed to point out more problems with it. SO, I found two OEM original to the amp that worked well together and set the bias and all held nicely. Put in a recording for testing and it all sounded wonderful So, I will run them for now and order up a matched PAIR of new Gold Lions again... Well, that is the update so far, but it is good to have stereo once again... OH, and I ordered room acoustic treatments which I hope will arrive this weekend, should really warm up the sound and hopefully take back some of standing waves in the room so the bass will be more even... Good night my friends...... Edited October 6, 2015 by Tigerman 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
