Default KaT6550 voltages

I have here a KaT6550 on which I have been doing some repair work. I have restored it to life, but do not have a specific set of test voltages for this amp.

Can anyone supply me with the test voltages for this amp, as per the build instructions which is more detailed compared to the schematic?

How closely could I use the test voltages from the circuit similar KaT34 as a guide?

Thanks in anticipation.

Hi Richard,

Thank you very much.

The KiT/KaT 6550 assembly instructions, schematic and diagrams are still outstanding for the instruction archive I have been putting together, so if you can forward the pdf to me, that would be really helpful. Thank you.

Hi Greg,

The 6550 that I did some work on the other week had the original manual with it. The owner is a friend, so I'm sure I would be able to access it again if you have any trouble getting the info you need.

Regards, Phil.
