warning on Fender pro 6G5A layout diagram

This fender pro 6G5A layout shows the screen wire going to the input grid pin 5

It should be going to pin 6 right next door

This image shows the error

Thanks


How come the quality went down?


Seems to be less sharp?

I figured out how to do it

I removed the PDF's from the library that were incorrect

I split the layout and schematic into separate PDF's
I uploaded the new PDF's to the library

http://el34world.com/charts/Schematics/files/fender/Fender_Pro_6G5A_Schematic.pdf


The layout looks like this now

I can put the schematic and layout back in a single pdf if you want.
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

Thanks Steve
I split it into two PDF's, layout and schematic
If you want to take my two PDF's and combine them, that would be cool

What I mean is I can COMBINE the two pdfs you made into a single pdf. Like this...

I found a free on line site that did that for me
I could combine my two images in one large image file and have that site create one PDF

glad you got it, The file size when I put it back together was 1.3meg, so on the pdf editor I used, I had to re-size and that was the next step down

I use an old version of pdf creator

Got cha, Thanks for trying

I ended up taking screens shots of the PDF pages on a 23 inch monitor and then pasting them as .png's

Then used a free on line program that converted my .png's into PDF's

If you have a windows machine, you could paste the pics into Powerpoint (1 per slide), then "Save As" and select PDF as the output file.


No idea what file size it would create, but as long as you don't start with huge-byte-size images (like bitmaps), then it'll probably come out okay.

I don't have powerpoint installed, but thanks for jolting my brain

I just realized I can do this with Visio and do a much nicer job

Here's the new version I just uploaded
http://el34world.com/charts/Schematics/files/fender/Fender_Pro_6g5A.pdf

The layout and Schematic are both in this PDF

Dang, is there anything Visio cannot do?


I probably have not even explored a fraction of it's features
