So what's the SS9013 for?

For whoarding!

Seriously it's a very nice low hfe NPN Si transistor for FuzzFace, Tonebender... well for any circuit that would usuallly use low hfe Ge... and convert it to NPN or simply Si.

I just spotted a 25x pack of SS9013 with free shipping for 4 $ aprox. with free shipping to my home.... is that a good price?

gotta link handy?

Nice score all the way around! Does the DOD still have the battery door?

Yo! So first thing that really needed to be made on this amp was the replacement of the 2prong cord for a 3prong with chassis ground.

When doing this, the most important thing to think about is that you have your Neutral and Hot wires going at the right place otherwise you're cancelling the goal of this mod and put your life again in the hands of the 60hz killer!

Chassis ground (green wire) must be bolted to chassis completely independant of any other component, sand the chassis with steel wool to raw metal, serated washer, locking washer are nuts are a must, you want a really good contact with the chassis.

You also want that if the cord is being pulled and forced out of the amp that the last wire from the power cord to disconnect is the ground. So make your braid length cuts with that in mind.

Pics!





Note: I've used a tie-wrap to keep the «D-crimp» in place here, i've ordered one of the right size so it's solid as possible. Amp will not go out of my appartement any time soon so i'm not bothered about it for now.

Hope some of you found this usefull.
