Heat and the Solid State CPD Mod

[Joster]

Hi All,

How much heat do your ss sg's make on a scale from 1 to 10

Cheers

To answer joe's question from last year before I hijack his thread, too much! I am currently working on a couple projects I had hoped to share by now but this question is related to an issue I am having. When using the SS SSG w/ CPD mod, I am finding that if I put a resistor after the Cap/pot and before the diode it will get HOT. My solution was to just not have the resistor there, but maybe I did something wrong, any insight would be helpful. Aln [#14 power #20 trigger, MJL21194 transistor, air core, 10k pot.]
