Found a reasonably decent looking Yammie in....you guessed it...... Goodwill.
Was I surprised? I think the pupils of my eyes raced to the size of dimes. The CR-620 just sat there, plugged in. Probably still there because the lights didn't work, and so was abandoned by the previous buyer. Must not have been an AK'er.
And it even works, mostly. After passing through the requisite Deoxit decontamination chamber, it all works - except the meter lights and the needle pointer light. I checked for voltage, but there was none. Took out the fuses and tested them, & they're good. The lamps are bad, though.
I'm at a loss as to why there's no voltage at the board where the lamp wires are attached. I D/L'd the schematic but have no service manual. Can anyone enlighten me about the lights?
Thanks!
