Zoom in on the preamp chassis layout notes located in the reverb area of the schematic... Note # 5

A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

I once saw a note --

"Why do dogs run so fast in the Arctic? Because the trees are so far apart."

Must be the same draftsman.

I was looking at the notes on the top right, didn't see the verb notes.

I'm more amazed that they used 1/2 a 12AU7 to drive a neon light to show whether reverb is engaged or not!

My first thought was you found a lid of weed. Good quote though!

Goes to show you the engineers who check the drawings don't always do a good job.

I get you writing it, I don't get the original remark.  But then again, some folks don't have insinuate meanings.  They have courage to say what is on their minds.  I keep forgetting how sensitive you are. :icon_biggrin:
