Rectifiers

1/20/1998 11:56 PM
Joel	Rectifiers I've been recently getting into this DIY stuff and have a question. I have a Traynor Mark III 100watt combo and was wondering if 1) could the solid state rectifier be changed to a tube? and 2) would this be worth the while? Could the rectifiers be changed with a switch on the fly and does this require some fancy new biasing circuit? (I understand that the tube rectifier delivers less voltage and the tubes need rebiasing) Are there any scematics for this. Thanks...
