Please Note: In the following two transformer wiring diagrams, orange wires are indicated. According to some users, however, these wires might be a sort of tan or light brown; therefore, please use caution and apply common sense when referring to the following two transformer wiring diagrams.

• L/B 120 Noise Reduction Mod
  Caution: The preceding mod was performed on my SC 120 and SC 200 Plus, and it works well, but I want to stress that you should use caution working on your amp. Here is what the tech who performed this mod had to say about it...

"Rest assured that the circuit [shown in the preceding schematic] is correctly installed. The center tap has been disconnected. That's what the schematic shows, and this was done instead of connecting the two 100-Ohm resistors to ground, as is done in numerous designs. The center tap is connected to a DC voltage. (See the 50V designation?) This effectively raises the AC heater supply above the noise floor (0 volts). Simple, effective and cheap. I use this on all my amps."

  Here's a real odd one for you... six EL34s and a solid-state preamp.

Note: I purchased this PA 50 R schematic from MusicParts.com and have the Paypal receipt to prove it.
