I'm working on a PA-76A, doing the obvious stuff - replacing the filter caps, the tantulum timing cap, the low-voltage filter etc. All well and good. What raised my question is the bleeder/equalizer
A single 100K 3W MOX is what I use on refurbs and my own PA 3 holer. There is also a delay tantalum on the board as well as a 3.3K 2W ( iffn I remember) that always goes way high on the amps I see. C
Thanks, Carl. I might as well replace all the carbon-comp resistors on the control board while I'm at it. The tubes don't show any element shorts with an ohmmeter and hi-pot fine, so I'm going to go

Those look good, but are no longer a stock item @ Mouser. Looks like 90 minimum, with a 10-week lead time. Thanks es 73, Jim N7XCI I'm working on a PA-76A, doing the obvious stuff - replacing the fil
Jim, the tolerance is not that critical since there is plenty of voltage overhead and the original 5% carbons worked for about 35 years. Standard 5% 3M MOX from Mouser or elsewhere is fine for anothe
