Recapping and Bias

Hopefully you won't need to recap, check resistors, rebuild power supplies (swap filter caps) for at least 20 more years.. 30-50 years is not uncommon. I have Macs that are 1961-65 Never been touched.. 65 + years old..

The bias is something SS and Valve unit both require.. If you have serviced a unit properly. Setting or checking the bias is all part of the tune up.. Keeps them sounding great and running at the prefered temp, too. There is more going on with bias, but the just of it is..It's part of the tuneup or service.. SERVICE manuals will usually give you the information you need as far as "HOW" to do it.. some are a little vague..

Enjoy yourself and be safe...

First, if there's no bias adjustment then don't add one. Second, recapping will not affect bias. Bias is a voltage and caps don't affect voltage. Resistors do that. Not caps. Finally, when recapping you must use equal value, because otherwise you can screw up frequency response. So I've lost count, but that's like 4 different ways you don't need to worry about what you're worried about.

Thank you, guys!!
