Hoping to get some help and insight for re-capping my Chorus. In the process I want to take out the printed circuit boards and mount the components similar to a Heritage type arrangement on a separate board. While I have the schematic, and believe I understand it, I am wondering if the existing PCBs are printed in a "zone" type arrangement, vs multiple layers and connections (see attached photo.). It looks to me as each "zone" has a non-conductive boundary around it and then various wires are soldered into that common area to connect the required components. So my questions thus far are these:
1) Is this what is really going on with regard to the PCBs? (zoned areas)
2) Is there a preferred type and gauge of wire I should use on the crossovers?
3) Has anyone else here done this for first generation Chorus before, and if so, would you have any pictures or tips to share, please?
Like I said, I believe I understand the schematic (although I wish I had a "road map")and have the skills and equipment to do the labor. I just want to understand the current configuration better so I do not to mess this up!
I will be taking the old inductors and autotransformers off off the PCB's and plan on replacing the capacitors and resistors. Once I have completed the first one, I will post another picture for review to make sure I didn't cross any wires!
Thank you for any advise or tips you might have!
