SL-1200 DC Power Supply DIY

30v AC rectified will give you 40v DC before the filter bank. The bleeder won't make any difference. What value did you use for the filter resistors? And please post some well-lit, in-focus photos of your PSU please, can't help without them.

Dear Jim,

I attached the pictures in this post... As you can see, I changed the bleeder back to 1K. I made the serial connected of 2 secondary transformer to get 30v and I have 37v AC before diode bridge.

All those connections look good. How is the bridge connected to the caps?

Thanks Jim, I tried to copy from your schematic and pictures.

As you can see on the left hand of the picture I attached, the red wire was connected to the output positive pole (+) of the diode bridge and the white wire is connected to the negative pole (-) of the diode bridge. I am at the office now, so I can not take a picture. Sorry about that!

After so many years I'm finally planning to do power supply mod. It will be one with own voltage regulation (with tracking pre-regulator configuration). I'm reviewing multiple threads on the topic. And I have one doubt. Everyone I saw was mentioning 21V voltage on regulator output while Technics service manual states 20V. So why to use 1V greater value. 5% it's not much so probably should not hurt but why not to do just 20V?

Never mind, I found it. Newer manual for mk2-a version states 21V.
