Replaced nos RCA with a new JJ 12AT7 and I love the results the RCA was starting to develop some noise it's a sixty year old tube that's served me well. I noticed the top of the tube shields say Ruby I wonder if the same plant is making Rubys? Anyone using Winged C's in there AD200B?
Just checked and I downloaded it although for some reason the pictures did not save. All the script is there though with gaps for the pictures. I might have printed a copy with pics that I could scan.

If you can't find the pictures just the script would be fine I heard it's the manual Orange should have written.
Here you are, had to reformat it again in order to post but the script should be all there:

Thanks I just peaked through the back grill and I see a small hole right where you described that must be where you make the adjustment?.
There is an actual bias pot mounted on the main circuit board. I do not believe you can access the pot from the top side where the tubes are mounted.
I don't know what your technical abilities are (or anyone else reading this post). Please make sure you have the right tools to measure and know what you're doing as you will be dealing with high voltage and potentially lethal current. Best left to a tech if you have any doubts.

I'm right there with you I'm super paranoid and fearful I even wore gloves when I adjusted the bias on the back of my SVT. I unfortunately don't have any competent amp techs in my area and I was trying to figure out if the pot is something I can access without totally tearing apart my amp? I have insulated gloves,screwdrivers and I was going to invest in one of these. It's so hard getting information on these amps I tried joining the Orange Forum three times with three different emails and I can never get the verification email? I appreciate the help and if it's something that involves taking the chassis apart I guess I'll have to get in the car and travel out of town to find someone.
You could also try and buy a DIVO, but I heard they don't fit that great in the chasis with those big valves.
Also, is someone buying OB1s? Have not seem much activity with those here in the club.
I tried one with a Thunderbird and an OBC410. I fancy the sound, but I am trying to keep my GAS at bay.

Folks-thinking about converting my AD200b/2OBC410's from Orange to Black...any folk done this successfully? Manually? Suggestions beyond just buying new cabs and swapping sleeves?
Thanks!
Thanks!
