Can i use the 17V AC directly from the transformers ?

Thanks

Felipe,

You can wire up a power LED for the GK1 from the positive power supply of say the left channel SS section.

This is at +14.4 volts +0.6, -1.

If we assume 14.4V and a LED voltage of 2, and gun for say 3mA, then the dropper resistor from the positive supply to the anode of the LED will be (14.4 - 2)/0.003 = 4133R.  Nearest preferred value would be 3K9, giving a current of 3.18mA, near enough for government work.....

The kathod of the LED would be directly connected to preamp earth.

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Hugh
