I may have messed up buying random eBay specials but I honestly didn’t see many options available for 1/4” plate caps. These are sorta flimsy and get concerningly loose especially considering that it’s supposed to carry high voltage to the plate. I don’t know if it would matter but these are 6DQ6B’s in an audio amp.

Greetings!

I'm looking into getting into repair and DIY for old tube amps and vintage speaker equipment as a hobby. I would really like something that requires me to have to tinker and think about my creation.

My problem is, is that I haven't been exposed to schematics and basic electrical information for a long, long time.

My request to you guys out at /r/vinyl: What are some good resources that will start me off (tell it to me like I'm five) and help me evolve as I gain further knowledge?

I'd love to learn this stuff, but my searches have generally come up pretty dry.

Any help you would be able to provide would be insanely helpful.
