    Magnetron Delay Problem

    Phew glad I asked. It's the right pad. ? Ok, going in.

    Magnetron Delay Problem

    So, like this? Specifically, how the pink and green wires are connected to the trimmer.

    On it! Yeah, the WF mod seems just the ticket. After my tea though ☕

    Resistor question

    My pleasure! Yeah, ordering the right part might be best though 86k is dang close and it's not going to be difficult to remove since the pots are out of the way. Do it until your 82's come? It'll be hard for anyone here to say what would work best in place of that 82k since there is no reference...

    Resistor question

    Bummer! But you are on the right track with series. Series or parallel would work. Parallel is both resistors spooning each other and you'd need to add two together that go much higher to get it drop down to 82k. IDK, maybe around 350k total between the two? Someone smarter would have to chime...

    i need advice & suggestions

    Not sure but I bet a Strat going through one of those bad boys into a dimed Marshall would rip my undergarments off. In all seriousness, try Tayda or Mouser for a trusted source of components.

    Magnetron Delay Problem

    I'm taking a break from this for a bit. I will definitely come back to trace that schematic with my probe but I need to walk away for a spell. Haha. I just finished populating a second board. This time I ran a standard 3PDT and just ran the external gain pot mod. For the momentary oscillation...

    You're a gd champ!

    Magnetron Delay Problem

    Yes, but no looper pedal for signal generation. Also, I'd need to know exactly where to follow on the schematic and that would be difficult as I don't know what I'm doing. Why did I build an audio probe then? lol

    Same here. For me, I just stop after this

    Magnetron Delay Problem

    Resistance between 1 & 2 looks ok: around 47k to 142k. Pin 4 is grounded Forgive my ignorance but I need a refresher on this. Been a while. Black lead anchored to ground point, then red lead to pins 1 through 8... but what do I set my meter to again? Just did. Same prob.

    The bridge pickup. Really, it only makes position 2 & 3 out of phase or normal. The rest are unaffected by pushing it. But it's pretty great and I'm happy with it being a tiny button in easy reach.

    I imagine there are a few different ways to do the fancy switching but here's the wiring stuff I used: push button switch and megaswitch I didn't buy the push button from that site though, can't remember where but from somewhere cheaper. Oh, and I needed some Devcon plastic welder that I didn't...

    Not cheap. hehe. I think it was 230 shipped from AU to US but it was Xmas and I was needing change. The fancy switching was tricky but super worth it. The out of phase honk in position 3 is sublime and nasty.

    I just pulled out my Strat and was reminded of this old thread. Last Christmas I treated myself to some new pickups for my 84 Tokai Strat (refinished by me) since I wasn't a fan of what was in it. Tym Guitars partnered up with Mick Brierley and Isaiah Mitchell to put out a small batch of...

    Magnetron Delay Problem

    All points tested have continuity. Removed. Problem still persists Removed em and the only noticeable difference was that oscillation started sooner. The only Schottkey's I have on hand are 5817's. would those be suitable? I have lots of gen purpose, zeners, germies, etc. R8 is shiny and...

    This is great. I will go through each and report back. I really appreciate you taking the time to help.

    Thanks, I am liking it so far! No time like the present. May as well try to get something productive out of 2020.
