Davis amp model 106 questions
« on: July 12, 2018, 11:17:57 am »
I hope this is the right spot to put this. If not plz let me know where to go.
I saw a post somewhere on this site about the amp and it had the schematics with it so I figured somebody might know what I'm trying to ask.
Ive got this lil amp here and saw a video of a guy that transformed it into a guitar amp. I'll hopefully be able to post the link.
He starts talking about it at around 10:51
Basically he states that after he switched it over to the 3 wire vs 2 wire he recommended doing it another way and I don't understand what he meant.
And if he makes sense on how he would recommend on doing differently I would love to know if it is a better idea and if so how to do it. It just didn't make sense to me.
Also I've read on a lot of threads that when you change to a 3 wire they usually have a death cap, so if there is one i would like to take that puppy out.
I hope these pictures show up.
If they don't plz let me know
if they do the picture of the guts is how far I've gotten.

The "death cap" would be on the primary side of the PT, schematic says you don't have one.

I didn't watch the video, I get bored easy  :icon_biggrin:
I don't see a problem just bolting the ground lead on the power plug to the chassis
look here, pg 2.  NOTE:, your schematic shows elevated heaters, so don't add the 2 100ohmer's like shown in the link
