Hello all, This JVC seemed to have a garden variety V-out failure (la7832). The original had a little piece blown off, but the 27v limit resistor and rectifierdiode were OK. Th zener on the output is good too! After replacing it with a la7833 (same but higher current-i think), it too exploded almost immediatly upon power up. I did a resistance check between H and V yokes and measured open-OK. Anyone ever encounter something like this?
