Hi, I am trying to revive an oldie but goodie. It had been sitting in storage for about 30 years so I blew out the dust and bugs, followed the DeOxit sticky and let it stand about 6 hours. I plugged it in and noticed some scratchy distortion in the audio output, also very weak. I did some more searching and found this diode (pictured) disconnected on the W16-026 Power Supply Unit. I have a board coming that I found on Ebay but I am concerned that something further down the line may be the issue. I have the schematic downloaded but it doesn't have reference signals for me to use my meter on. Has anyone ever run into this or does anyone have a suggestion on where I should look? Also, would this diode cause the audio issue I described? I assume that the power isn't being distributed properly through the amp.
Thanks,
James
