Well, I have my Hitachi HMA-8500 MKII amp apart trying to fix the right VU meter. The left meter works fine, so I disconnected the molex connector at the circuit board where the two VU meters get powered. I next unsoldered the wires going to the right VU meter and jumped directly from the pins on the circuit board to the right VU meter--still no dice. Just to make sure my test worked, I also jumped to the left meter and the left meter works as expected. Apparently there is a problem with the meter. Can these things be repaired, replaced, or ??? Before I put it back together, I thought I would check with you all. I don't know if it will help, but schematic attached.
