Minimum restore.
Power Supply Board (AWR-107-0)
Stabilizer/Power Supply Board (AWR-106-A)
Protection Board (AWM-091-A)
Power Amp Board (AWH-048-A) (This list times two for the two amp boards)

Maybe someone will test and check the large filter caps for you.
I have a set I removed from a working set. They are in OK shape as they have not vented. Might be persuaded to let them go. PM me if you want them.

Thanks guys is there any way to isolate the component creating my issue? Are there too may variables and possibly multiiple component failures?
 
Thanks guys is there any way to isolate the component creating my issue? Are there too may variables and possibly multiple component failures?

There is a cascade of possibilities, and a game of whack a mole in the future, where the whacking incrementally adds damage as each board is removed and worked on a little bit.

You could post measurements of the protect board after the relay clicks out - to try to see if the protect board is justified in it's actions.
Then the power regulator board voltages as well.

If you are lucky, it's a weak relay driver transistor.

But without readings, we can play an extremely time wasting what if game - but WE won't include ME.

I appreciate all of the help. I have began rebuilding the R-L amps protect and stabilizer boards. I have completed amps and protect and have started on stabilizer. I have discovered previous work. Most all of the caps have been replaced with higher voltage caps obviously not stock. I have replaced them with caps in thread but discovered something unusual. D1 was missing. I aslo discovered a diode taped to the inside of the metal board mount. Any ideas what to do here. Thanks again for the help.

Thanks , yes I do have them and have replaced D1 and D3. Can you explain what was to be accomplished by removing D1? I was hoping to understand the reasoning. I have completed the stabilizer board.
 
JF, D1 needs to be installed. You won't get your +25v or +65v regulated.
The last guy didn't want to loose it.
Use this Thread to compare your boards and drivers:

Do you have some 1N5252B's?

Remember when I posted this:
pin 11 86.6v // +65.0v regulator running wide open or shorted

Removing D1 caused the regulator to run wide open. Insanity and damaging.
You would need to test that diode that was taped in there to see if it was damaged,
but I'm unable to warp my mind far enough to find justification for what was done, under any circumstances.

After rebuild and installation of boards and large caps receiver comes out of protection. DC offset was adjusted very close to O and bias adjusted. I however had a problem adjusting bias on left channel. Meter shows no movement no matter how much I adjust trimpot. Meter worked fine on right channel . Any ideas. Thanks for all who have helped me.
 
Adjusting the bias trimmer should change the voltage drop across the bias generator, STV3's and R's, thus the 6 vbe drops across the 6 transistors as part of the triple push-pull pairs. 1.8V * 2 = 3.6V. Supposed to be 2mA through the vbe generator, Q4,6
What is the V across the o/p emitter R's?
V between Q7,8?
Could measure the var R when powered off. It is 470 ohm
 
sx 1250

Thanks for the reply. Can you be a bit more specific? I don't quite understand but want to. Exactly which resistor on the board should I check resistance? Also which part of each transistor should I check? With power on or off? Thanks for trying to help.
 
What is the V across the o/p emitter R's?
Measure with power applied,
1)This would be the DCV across each R28,R29(0.5ohm/5W) for the top half of 2SD555 bjts.
and would be R32,R33(0.5ohm/5W) for the bottom half of 2SB600 bjts
2) V between Q7,8? DCV in circuit with power applied. This voltage should increase as you adj the pot VR2.
3) Could first measure VR2 when powered off. It is close to 470 ohm when turned one way and around 0 when truned the other way. if you see it jumping around that is not a good thing, either clean vr2 with de-oxit or replace it which is always the best thing to do.

In the adj procedure you are to adjust vr2 for 100mV across TP7 & 19
So 100mV/1 ohm(0.5x2) = 100mA of bias current through each output pair

4) You could measure the voltage in circuit with power applied for R20 (620). This will determine the current through the diff pair Q3,4. So the (DCV across 620)/620 ohm will determine the current. This current should be the sum of the currents through R15,16(220ohm). Measure powered up, DCV across R15 and R16/220ohm. This will determine how well the differential pair Q3,4 are in balance and what is the bias current through the diff pair.

Good luck
Rick

Thanks Rick, so far I checked R33 and R32 they fluctuate between -3.2 and -4.0V. R 29 and R 28 -2.8and -3.6V. VR 2 would adjust up to 412mv. How can I get a probe on R 20. 15, 16 with power on? Does it matter which side of the resistor is checked? Again thanks for the help
 
The voltage is ACROSS the named 0.5 ohm resistors, one dmm probe on each side of the resistor at the same time. The readings will be at or below 0.1 volt (100 millivolts)

This measurement is NOT ground referenced.

They can be easily accessed at pins 7 and 19 on the outer corners of each amplifier board, very close to the transistor connectors. Have you cleaned all those connector pins BEFORE doing anything with the board?

Haven't you downloaded the hi res sx-1250 service manual?

Thx mtf, yes he has to realize what measurements are ground referenced. All, except where noted, the voltages on the schematics are ground referenced, but the bias measurements are across the o/p bjt emitter ballast R's.
R28,R29(0.5ohm/5W) for the top half of 2SD555 bjts.
R32,R33(0.5ohm/5W) for the bottom half of 2SB600 bjts

Thanks guys. I did check measurements to ground. I will recheck across resistors and get back to you. I had also cleaned the connectors. I have also downloaded the 1250 scan. I assume its easy to check the voltages to transistors if I removed heatsink with outputs attacked and the amp metal mount bracket to access safe probe connection to amp board. Again thank you.

HUH? There's some dangerous disconnections in there... :dunno:

I TOLD YOU:

They were PUT THERE to make ACCESS EASY!!! The manual will show you.

disconnect NOTHING and then apply power., without checking with me or a very few others, before you let magic smoke out.

you are scaring me. and I don't scare easily.

I trust you guys do not get frustrated with me. I was looking at the schematic and don't see that R 28, 29 and R32, 33 tie into pins 7 and 19. Yes it would seem a lot safer and do not want to damage anything. I did remove protect board and reattach under receiver and was able to get to R28,29, R32 and 33 on my lowest scale I had 0 volts across these resistors with power on. Also what is safest way to access voltage across R20, R15 and 16? Also where should I measure voltages between Q7 and Q8 , R25 or R24? Thanks

Here is my recap list for the SX-1250, I visually checked every board against the service manual and confirmed the caps for the the board numbers listed below, my 1250 was made Dec 1976. FYI I'm using a few Panasonic FM and FC caps in the preamp areas instead of PW caps.
