CR-1020 relay won't engage

With the unit powered off what is the resistance between the collector of TR702 and chassis ground? Looking for around 165Ω relay coil resistance.
 
Give it a shot..

I had a spare 2SB544 from a 2020 I do, threw it in to no change. BD140 also didn't make a difference.

It's just weird that when I tap the base of tr-706 with the red probe of my multimeter, with black grounded, the relay closes immediately.
 
Check for cracked solder,traces or broken solder pads. around TR706.

Will do, going to start looking for broken traces later. That may be the issue since when I got this one I was able to get it to work for a bit by snacking it
 
Snacking? Cheetos? :biggrin:

Ohm out the traces in the protect circuitry..:thumbsup:

Is there a better quality board scan, or do you have a good image of the back of the board? The S/M scan I have is pretty washed out so it's hard to see what traces are supposed to go where
