So to recap (puny of me):
I went and Re-Re-Re- verified that all the transistors are correct, and in the proper locations, and they are..I think. (see below). All were tested with component checker prior to soldering them in.
I went through and all the resistors are the correct values and I out them in the correct locations, and they were tested with a meter prior to soldering them in.
I went ahead and replaced the diodes for the phono/etc board, as i had to disconnect and pull it out to re-route some signal cables anyway. I did
not test them before I installed them, for whatever reason, but I did verify that they were installed correctly. I just checked them in circuit with the meter and they seem to test fine. 1volt or so in one direction and 600mv or so in the other.
The
Only thing that stuck out that I didn't notice before, is the NPN driver transistors that B&D sent me, are labeled differently than what they hand wrote on the package they bagged them in.
I ordered 2SC4793, and that is what is says on the baggy. the transistors themselves read C3749. I don't know if that is okay or not. Are those substituted for C4793?
That is where I am at in the troubleshooting process just so that everyone is up to speed. I am kinda leaning towards agreeing
@zaibatsu and suspect a diode somewhere. Have not heard from
@avionic yet, but I imagine he is busy. I will poke around some more after looking at the schematic this evening.
