JoLida 100 potential problem


Hi there,

Yesterday I recieved my Rca tubes and I immdiately installed them. Easy enough to do enough though it's pretty cramped inside maybe it's due to my level-2 mod. On to my question when I installed the new tubes and put back the metal sheaths I tried to tighten the screws but was unable to do so. I left them unscrewed in this state can a problem what so ever occur. I'm mostly concerned when moving the player that the screws will pop out.

Thanks

Pauly,

Thanks for getting back to me. I guess I screwed up by loosening the screws. I'm not very electronically inclined so removing the circuit board is not an option right now. I can at the most leave it as is.

Upon first inspection it didn't appear that the tube base and the base of the metal sheath are connected , so removing the metal base that the sheaths connect to will be easier for me any thoughts on how I should do this.

Tube microphonics and dampening is not an issue as I can buy if need be third party products such as Hal-O's and if they also deal with heat dispersion all the better.

Cheers

Thanks again for the info. What about removing the whole base can it be done. If I can help it I'd rather not have to loosen the circuit board. This is more trouble than I bargained for lol.

Ketchup,

You the man your advice worked like a charm I was able to tighten 3 out 4 screws. The last one came undone completely red washer and all. I tried but it is nearly impossible to do the last one by myself. Turned it on and it plays beautifully.

Thanks again for the encouragement if it wasn't 1:00am I'd celebrate.

Cheers
