I just added a new AB763 board called the AB763 short board
Sometimes one of my longer AB763 boards will not fit into a short chassis layout
I removed the right end of the regular AB763 board which made the short board about 3 inches shorter

These items were removed
The two 100 ohm heater CT reistsors
The bias circircuit
The screen grid resistors
The one ohm cathode resistors

You can use the separate bias board 1 and  that has the two 100 ohm resistors and the bias circuit
The screen grid resistors and one ohm resistors attach to the power tube sockets like on a vintage Fender

The link to all the AB763 turret boards on the library page is here
All the AB763 boards are contained in the same PDF files
http://el34world.com/schematics.htm#Hoffman_AB763_Two_Channel_

Check out the links in the post above this one

Here's pic of the short board and the separate bias board

Please look at all the documents for the boards before asking questions

I was asked these questions - This info is all listed in the documents
