Found a design problem after running it a while,,, seems on the mule the diodes were suspended across a pair of tag strips, lots of air circulating... On the chassis turret board they lay on the board, and apparently overheated, and shorted... Got it running again with the same type diodes, clipped in... Think I'll re do the turret board mounting, and raise them above it, also install higher V diodes and an inrush protector to allow some start up protection....
Its been running a couple hours now, at least it still sounds good, and is quiet!!!! Rebuilt a VC pot got it installed also, so we're still going forward!
Any one in the area know of a radio shop/store etc to pick up a pair of diodes?? Seems closest open Radio Shack is in Lancaster Cty hour+ each way... Hate to bug Digi for them!!
