Back at it again... Rebuilt the power supply boards all new components on both boards.
AWR-031 (B)
AWR-032 (A)
I have the boards installed, powered on with no load, ie the preamp, control board , relay, speaker protection etc is not connected to power, only the power boards themselves.
For the AWR-032 board this is:
Pin 1 - Common Ground/Earth
Pin 6 - Negative Rail -
Pin 7 - Positive Rail +
This is on a DBT to prevent any damage while testing occurs.
The main filter caps (original 15,000uF) are in circuit, though this is a split power supply. The OUTPUT voltages of each board basically check out good with no load,
BUT I am getting a fair bit of warmth though my fingers are surprisingly numb I can feel the heat, seems to be coming from R1, R2, D1, Q1, Q2, and I'm not sure if those are heating up C1, C2 but it appears they also get warm, which is my main concern as I've never had a warm capacitor so something isn't right.
I'm a bit stuck as how to tackle this as the voltages are all stable. I've gone through and checked all transistor voltages with reference to ground. Reference from schematic in
