Thank you, that was my first order of business, it is actually the first DIY I've seen that's so messy, I don't understand why he took the care to add an R2R attenuator and didn't take the time to fix the wires, he probably lost interest at some point.
Which wires are best suited for the re-work (model/brand) ?
I was hoping to have help with upgrading something more subtle like maybe changing the resistors with some that have better tolerance or checking certain bias / voltage to make sure everything is fine ?
I do have a couple questions:
Is that SS relay is for the remote control ?
what's the small toroid transformer vertically attached to the case for ?
what is the unpopulated section of the power board for ?
thanks
