Revision 3.0 of the N72 is now shipping with a number of new features and changes from the previous version. The updated BOM and schematic are shipping with the kits but are not yet on line. New BOM and schematic are up, revised assembly instructions are coming soon.
New components
C29, C30 100uF/63V electrolytic capacitor
D4 1N4002 diode
J5, J6 Jumpers
R41 3K9 1/2W resistor
R48 150R 1/4 resistor
T1b CMMI-2-PCA (new option, coming soon!)
Changed components
R40 is now a 47R 1W flameproof resistor
R46 and R47 are now 0.1% parts
Deleted components:
C5 1000uF/25V electrolytic capacitor
C22 82uF/25V electrolytic capacitor
C27 220uF/50V electrolytic capacitor
R18 12R 1/4W resistor
R32 51K 1/4W resistor
R41 33K 1/4W resistor
Assembly procedures are essentially unchanged, with two big exceptions:
You must insulate the bottom of the input transformer mounting bracket with electrical tape or a similar material! There are now exposed component pads under this part that may be shorted if you don't! N72KFs are now shipping with a paper insulator to be used for this purpose.
Also, in step 41, adjust the C of Q6 to 22.6V, not 21.4V. The voltages for Q4, Q5, and Q6 will differ from the table in step 42 as well, but the general troubleshooting principles are the same.
Please post all questions regarding Rev 3.0 changes in this thread. I'll post more details as soon as possible.
