OK, I'll go with that. Brian

That's sounds easy, thank you, Brian

So I'm starting my redo, checking my resister ohms and stuff. I did find a couple that were wrong and a couple that were off a little. I'm fixing those. I'm checking continuity and voltages as I go. Got the heaters wired and the power transformer is putting out correct voltages. LED is 120 Volt, so ...

Yes, that's what I meant to say and yes, I have that schematic, enlarged and ready to go. I've already got the 345k trimmer on the board. Let's see what it's like before I see if I want to switch it with a 100k.
Thanks for the link and info.

Ok, stripped out all the wiring, been reading and video watching and will start take-two shortly. Will check all the resistors making sure they're the correct ones, easy to get mixed up.....so many choices... Bought good PVC covered 20gauge wire...last stuff was cheap rubber covered that melted when...

Sounds like a plan, checked out the Weller system, looks good.
Brian

I have a Weller 40watt from Menards, cost like $15. I have a solder sucker too so removal isn't so bad.
Thans for replies and info.
Brian

So, I compared the '88 Skyliner to the'84 #124 schematics and ordered the parts that are different between the two. I also bought good quality tinned PVC covered wire as I just used cheap plastic covered wire which melted when I soldered the ends. I will start stripping back the chassis to start my ...

Thanks, here are the guitars I've built...first is called Caractacus, Designed by Chris Monk (has a website and You Tube videos) "Highline Guitars" who makes guitars in his garage, Named it after the tinker in "Chitty chitty bang bang" second is a Rick 330 hollow body....Designed by me, scaled up a ...

To sluckey, those aren't 10k resistors, that is V4 and those are 120R resistors, one to ground and one to two of the pins according to the layout. I have mistakenly used the layout more than I should have as I think these may be different on the schematic. I don't have it right in front of me to che...

Started looking at the Skyline, Couple resistor changes, add a couple resistors, change two caps, and a trim pot, on the preamp board, not too bad so far. So I was using the original 1984 schematic but need to pay more attention to the schematics, that's where the correct stuff seems to be. I've dow...

K, I'll take a good look at it.
If it's got a better sound to it, it would be worth it.
Thak you,
Brian
More bike pics.
I didn't do the paint job but I designed the pattern.
Made the sissy bar, gas tank, and lots of mounts and things.

I'll stop working nights on it, it's not a good idea. I always try to be safe when I work on it. I have a bulb limiter and have been using it when I turn the amp on. I do it without valves and speaker, won't do these till no more smoking resisters and voltages are correct. Maybe they're smoking caus...

To all on "The Amp Garage" "Public apology" Just so we're clear, I'm not mad or upset with anybody.....hopefully no one is mad at me... I really thank you for pointing out the mistakes I have made. I probably thought that an amp would be easier to build than it is. I was wrong. I can say that, I'm n...

I'm in Wisconsin....Thanks for the offer, No hard feelings, ijedouglas, hopefully we're all friends and can take criticism as a learning tool. I am a builder/tinker, I'm 66yrs old and have been building stuff my whole life. I build for satisfaction and enjoyment, and fun. If it works first time grea...
