Near this C you find R1305. Original values are 1 K and 2,2uF.
Now the mod:
Please put 10 Ohms in parallel with R1305 and 10uF parallel to C1324.
Please be carefull in doing this, the SMD-parts are very small !
In my case, I had no SMD-C available (and I didn´t want to use Tantal-C´s), therefor I connected the
10uF via cable to the upper side of the main board. It´s not looking nice, but nevertheless it´s working.
Values over 10uF (470uF) are better, but the S-meter stand still at approx. S6-7 afterwards. It´s not
recommended to go over 10uF.
Good luck and again: be carefull!!!
Thanks for reading this and I apologize for the picture, which is not exactly focused. (I saw it too late...)
