When >I removed the transformer, a "BIG OLE BUG " had crawled in between the legs >of the transformer and the body of the transformer. I cleaned it out and the >transformer rang good. I put the transformer back in and applied 17v to the >cathode of d905 and slowly applied 0 to 60 volts to pin one of T902 while I >monitored pin 1 of I901.Wallah!!! a waveform appeared.
