I am working on an acoustic amplification ag60 amplifier. I was told that it quit working after a nearby lightning strike. This amplifier is making a loud humming noise and there is no audio signal from the input coming out of the speakers. However, there is a mix of a hum and audio input coming from the headphone jack which is an output from the preamp section. I have replaced the power transistor chip in this with no change in the situation.
I'm continuing to test this, and so I decided to start by testing the transformer.
I disconnected all primary and secondary connections from the board and did a continuity test. There are 3 secondaries on the transformer and each of the three tested with 100% continuity between each of the secondaries' leads. The thing I wonder about is that one of the secondaries also tested continuity with another set of secondaries.
More specifically there is a pair of yellow wires, a pair of orange wires, and three wires consisting of two reds and a green and the middle. The three wires tested continuity with the orange wires.
Could this be in the design, or is this a flaw or damage?
Thanks
