Re: CSV13 - Wenn der Nachbar 3x klingelt...
For what it´s worth i have to say that i agree with Thomas. If the idea is to use the unit certain parts are simply good measure to have replaced. Also agreed that bringing the voltage up on a variac or similar is a good move. Old German made electrolytes are of REAL high quality all things consider...

Re: Braun CSV 13 ohne Funktion
Hallo alle. @Holger. As some of the boys on here are aware i do work on tubeamplifiers. In fact i run a CSV-13/1 and a CSV-60 here at home. Some have voiced for the inherent dangers of working on a tubeamp,and they are correct. If you´re no especially savy around highvoltage electronics...by all mea...

Re: CSV13 - Anfängerprobleme (+Bilderserie)
As some of you know i indeed live in Sweden. The reason that some electrical appliance was redubbed in Swedish was at the time Swedish "S" legislation. In other words..the law. As some of you also know i work on a LOT of tube amplifiers and german such are often stamped,for internal factor...

Thanx a million,both of you!!! :D True enough. It turns out that one of the german gentlemen on the Schaller site had gone through the entire process of doing a reverse engineer on his unmolested amp. Ergo.. I now got a CORRECT schematic for my amp in hand :shock: :D Remains to see if it´ll correct ...

A shot in the dark.
Hello all. Asking for help boys. I recently bought me an old german Schaller amplifier. A 1966 vintage Schaller KV-50. http://iloapp.elegic.com/data/_gallery/public/28/140294979582163400_resized.jpg Amp was dead as i got it,but that was handled soon enough.

El T Ballbearings doesn´t work that way. Their running premises are very tightly controlled. Ie;just replacing individual steels for a given bearing is pointless. Ballbearings always run on a race.

Then for an update. I got to replace the old Pioneer surround receiver here at home with a fresh Yamaha. That brought HDMI and a complete array of pre-out sockets. In short,just what the doctor ordered. The thing is that replacing the surround receiver really made for a world of difference. All of a...

Ok. Just pulled a measure of the bulb temps. Measured at their hottest point,that is in between a tube pair. The PL-504´s=142degC The EL-84´s= 158degC Most likely the 84´s run that much hotter due to smaller bodies vs the power omitted. Sorry...no pictures. Couldn´t put the probe in place and shoot ...

Ok boys. Here goes. I´ve thus far only used a simpler pyrometer for the measuring,but at least it is industrial grade. Please have in mind that this is a type K element,and hence the actual measuring is done at the probe end ONLY. Thus i placed the probe per Jens´s idea,that is just atop the chassis...

The relay turned out to be setup to run vs the outlet for electrostatic speakers. Wires had been cut before me entering the picture,and hence the entire setup was deleted and taken out of the amp.

Good to hear you nailed the problem that fast. As for the older German made coupling caps,yes..they are often shot or on the verge of being these days.

As stated,might very well be the heater circuit for the preamp. When i checked mine out before overhaul it showed a mere 6VDC+. Amplifier still worked,but basically sans any and all margin. That electrolytes should be replaced after 50yrs of service is to be expected. I opted to replace the selenium...

Thank you Jens. As i interpret most of what you write it comes down to if the glass is half full or half empty?
