@jsteiger good news !!!! now it's working .... before the trip I was resoldering some joins...now I'm back and it's working...
Bad news, I have 1 2503 Litz that's not good, all the 4 coils work good 8 ohms , but then I connects the coils like
Red with white and measure black and yellow and in a good trainee I have like 19 ohms, but in the bad one I have like 9 ohms...If you have a best way to check it, let me know how and I will test it.
Cheers !!!!

I would check each lead to all other leads. Make sure none are connected that shouldn't be. The only readings should be from the start to finish of a winding.

Hey all,
I think I got a bad switch on my HF I get no continuity on the last deck (furthest form the faceplate) in any position, all the other decks work as expected. So my HF has no boost or cut, the MF and LF still work. Is there any way to fix the switch? Is a replacement even in the realm of possibility?

Please send an email thru the store and we'll get it sorted.

Hey jeff, everyone. Im finishing up a bt50 here, installing output transformer and it seems that installing it, specifically tightening the screw/nut closest to opamps, has caused a curve in the pcb starting right at the transformer and out towards the back, like the whole back 1/4 of pcb, where it slots into rack, is now a few 16ths out of whack. Is this normal for this build? I have taken it off and on multiple times trying to adress it and now im at a loss just hoping i can finagle it into the slot!

Appreciate any insight! Thanks

A picture would help, But i would make sure that you have the hardware in the correct locations with the leads at the top coming out towards the Opamp

Perfect thanks. Posted pics but took a while to upload. I need a lock washer between pcb and transformer. Appreciate it.
