Description
This power supply is designed to replace the original Dynaco metal can multi capacitor, the selenium rectifier and its capacitors. It will retain the use of the PA211 power transformer as well as the 12X4 tube rectifier. We have also added a fuse for the 120V line, which was never present with the original Dynaco design. Quality film and electrolytic capacitors as well as carbon film resistors are used. The PCB is manufactured to FR4-TG standards with ground planes on both sides to improve screening as well as component screen printing to make assembly easier. A set of assembly instructions is also included.
Please note that the photos are a general indication, and component colors and style can and will vary.
An important note about using this power supply: because it still uses the PA211 power transformer, it will only be able to handle the current requirement for five tubes in total. That is two tubes each in the phono and line preamps as well as the 12X4 rectifier tube. If you are considering upgrading to our TCLA tone control preamp or to our AIKIDO classic line preamp, each of which uses 4 tubes PLUS the two tubes for the phono preamp and possibly the 12X4 tube rectifier, this power supply and PA211 combination will not be enough to provide the filament current for all those tubes. You will need to use one of our regulated power supplies, kit#7 or kit#8, as shown below
