Looking for advice from someone who has installed the 2nd version of the tubes4hifi dual rectifier.
Step 4 says to install the 3 lug terminal with the B+ resistor, which I did, but there’s no more mention of attaching any wires to it? From the pic it’s clear that the red lead marked B+ on the VTA pcb goes to the terminal on one side of the resistor, but the other side looks like 4 wires? If I had to guess it looks like 1 of the 2 leads from the Choke (black), an orange that presumably is the extended choke wire mentioned in step 5, the red transformer lead from the output transformer on the left, and then that leaving and going into the old bias pot hole? If that’s correct, great, but it seemed strange that one choke lead and the lead from one transformer would attach to the terminal strip while the other choke lead and transformer lead would not. And those are all just soldered together at the terminal on the other end of the terminal lug?
I also noticed that in photos of V1 there are 2 B+ locations on the DR PCB, but on V2 there is one contact point labeled B+ with three holes for wires, and at the other end of the pcb, between contacts of one of the new smaller caps, there is an unmarked contact? Another post mentioned only needing one B+ but then what do I do with the B+ lead from the other output transformer?
Thanks in advance.
PS I have emailed Dan Willoughby, but I'm sure he's busy and I thought someone here might have some first hand experience solving the issues I'm coming up against.
