Thank you! I have both bookmarked already, the Regenesis tone control bypass worked great in my 2, which is waiting on a transformer. Somebody spent a ton of money at Dynakit and skipped the fuse. And yes on my part hindsight.... I started looking at photos of the insides under Google shopping, the long shaft selector switch seems to be in random models, as you just hit the nail on head, now I am thinking the 2 and threes on the pics out there with that style selector must be rebuilds. I just ordered a recap kit which has a cap board with a cover to look OE. But I am going to get the Dynakit jacks board. Sorta like trying to find a 72 Riviera with a working 8 track.....

Something easily overlooked when using vintage gear is the AC mains. Vintage tube gear has limits. In the case of the PAS, there's a voltage chart in the manual, and the allowable AC mains is discussed elsewhere in the manual as well, if I recall.

It can be spot-checked with a handheld meter. But AC mains can wander significantly over hours, days and even longer periods. If manageable, I'd encourage the use of either a data logging meter or something that displays the AC mains voltage in real time. Power conditioners and similar things may have this sort of feature.

  I am not sure why I would data log, but I use a 500w autoformer to drop to 110. Ditto the el cheapo Aliex preamps, the heaters are night lights at 122.
