The Redmere Soloist
Power Supply
Nothing unusual here. The +/-12v supplies feed the preamp using 78/79 series regulators. One chassis found had a 79M12 (500mA) fitted and another had a 7912 (1A). Prototypes or Trade Fair samples may be different.
A minor complaint is that the mains earth is connected to the chassis using one of the IEC mains connector screws. That's not a good idea. 1 - it's plastic and can crack or come loose and 2- the safety earth should have it's own dedicated fixing. Easy enough to drill the back panel and make a proper connection.

-
Use the print menu to print to A4 plain paper.
Thanks to Billy Stephens for the details of an early chassis he's working on. This was before the factory went over to integrated regulators.
