I would like to get away from the switcher PS that someone had already installed in my Gorf upright, and go back to the linear PS. I was hoping some folks out here could help me. My main reasons for wanting to do this are these 2:
1) Knowledge and the satisfaction of doing it and understanding what is happening. This is the hobbyist in me. As I'm starting to look at this task, on the one hand it logically seems like...well...not too terribly complicated of a thing. But wow I sure do have some questions.
2) Originality or having it running like it was designed to. This is the purist in me. I just like the idea of having the original linear PS up and running again.
And I actually am having a minor problem with audio interfering with the monitor image, have noticed that diff switchers cause a diff in the intensity of this problem, and am wondering if the linear PS would do away with it altogether. But this is minor and I don't want to dwell on that right now. It's the above 2 reasons that I would like to focus on.
So with that said, I would really appreciate any help/feedback from the KLOV community. I'm gonna work right now on some obervations and some compare/conrast notes between the switcher and the linear. I will post this soon in this thread and hope to hear from you. Thanks much!!
Oh and my Gorf does look to have the linear components still in there. i.e. the big xformer and the power supply pcb. But, I would bet something is wrong somewhere with it, since the conversion to a switcher was done in the first place.
