A few (fairly) easy Blues Jr. Mods....

[duhvoodooman***]

I also ordered a HUGE cap for power supply stiffening mod, but I didn't have the guts (or time) to drill 2 holes in my PCB. I wasn't quite sure where to do it, and I couldn't find a photo on Billm's site. So I still need to do that one. DVM, you wouldn't happen to have a photo of the Power Supply Stiffening Mod, would ya?

At the risk of sounding like Ed McMahon, "How huge is it?"

Below are a couple of photos of the PS stiffening cap installed in my BJr. I used a 47 uf 450V cap that Tung sent me (you rock, T-man!! ) and just soldered it in parallel to the existing one. The effective capacitance of parallel caps is the sum of their individual capacitance values. The way I installed it, no board drilling was required. The two caps sit side by side, and I just bent the leads of the new cap over, hooked them around the leads of the original 47 uf cap, and soldered them there. I slid some green heat-shrink tubing onto the new cap leads for insulation, and fastened the cap body to the PCB with a big ol' glob of hot glue, so it wouldn't rattle. Very easy installation.
