I'm new to tube gear and I recently picked up a Bogen RP-230. I've replaced all the electrolytics, including the multi-cap cans but I'm wondering if there is anything else I should replace?
I've read that the selenium rectifiers should be replaced, but I'm not sure what\where that is. Is it the square bock near the cap in the middle of the top of the picture? If so, do I replace it with a diode? Not sure what type though. Also read that if it replaced with a diode a resistor should also be used in line.
Anything else I should replace?
Sorry for all the questions but I want to make sure I've gotten everything before I fire it up. The previous owner said it worked before I bought it and all the tubes glowed, but I haven't turned it on since I got it. I have a variac arriving on Friday and won't turn it on before I have that to use.
Thanks
