Okay....well, digging deeper into this issue of no output on one channel of the SX-990, in addition to the open trim pot of VR3, I also have an open STV-3 diode mounted on the heat sink, and is in series with the trim pot.
I’ve read that the STV-3 is impossible to purchase, but that there may be some alternatives to it.
Searched but didn’t seem to be able to find anything.
The schematic is the attached photo.
Can anyone advise what can be done to replicate the function of the open STV-3 diode in this circuit ??
