'68 100 watt board layout

Here's the standard '68 100 watt layout. Of course you will see variations and value differences.

The .68uf cap in parallel with the 820 in V2 shows up intermitantly.

The 330uf cap in V1 is often a 250uf.

How does this one sound as compared to the '67 layout? Sound clips soon, George?

This is the slightly later '68 version with the 2k7/0.68 split cathode arrangement. The earlier version has the 820/0.68 for the split on V1. Actually, from what I've seen "most" amps with the 2k7/0.68 cathode setup don't have the pre-amp filter cap on the tag board rather Marshall already made the switch to the six top mounted filter cap style by then.

Most of the '68 split cathode boards I've seen have 820 ohm/.68uf on V1b. Also, the V1 to V2 coupling cap from the bright channel should be .0022uf not .022uf.

Here's an updated diagram with the alternate 820 in V1 and the .0022 listed.

this seems pretty close to Ralle's board diagram. any chance you could post the diagram for the 69 SL board? im trying to work out which would be closest to Ralle's so I could buy the easiest one to mod, along with the necessary components at the same time.

Electrolytic Capacitors

Coupling/signal Capacitors

Resistors

I would really apprceiate that :-)

They should be back up later today.

There may be 5 minutes of downtime while the change is made.

There is no cap board on the later '68 amps - they're all on top

so a 68 build with one cap on top would be 2 100ufs and 2 32ufs as well as 16 or 32 on top?

They changed around a lot. That seems like th most common. But you could also see 4 100u caps and other value can on top as well as quite a few values for the preamp can. But my estimate (Im certainly no expert on marshall history) is the values you mentioned were most common.
