I wouldn't mind having a scan of that schematic when you get it. I'm not having any problems at the moment but you never know.

Will do. As soon as it gets to my mailbox it's going on the interwebs. |

Location: Fairfax, VA | Okay. I got the schematics from Ovation this weekend. They appear to be the same documents that are reproduced on the Breadwinner Fan Page. I'll make good (ie legible) scans of them and get them up on my googlepages tonight if I have time (it all depends what time I get done with work). The notation with the transformer symbol isn't unequivocal, but with the info there and some liberal testing of the board I have (which is working just fine) I should be able to figure out a good replacement. If it's just conditioning power for the preamp parts we're in good shape.
The other biggest problem is the need to find an appropriate dual potentiometer for the tone control. The stock one is dual ganged with two different values. I'm going to have to dig around to find something that works or else split it out to a separate neck and bridge tone control. I don't know how anyone else would feel about that. |

Me, I'd go for passive pickups. I know it wouldn't sound the same, but for me the mojo is in the shape. |

Unfortunately it doesn't do much to illuminate the details of the transformer. I've emailed the mothership to see if they have a copy of the referenced parts list. |

Location: Marlton, NJ | Melmoth - how is the project coming along? I've pretty much assembled the rest of the parts needed to put together a Breadwinner. |
