This set has been in the shop too long and it's quite large, I really = want to get it going. The set will fire up ok sometimes, but usually sound = comes up with no high voltage. I've downloaded the manual for this set, and have found that there is a relay in the 140V B+ line from the power supply transformer that is not being picked up, hence no power to the horizontal output section. The = signal that drives this relay is called B+ on/off and comes from the microprocessor. During startup, the micro pins labeled AC on/off and degauss toggle and relays within the set click, but the B+ on/off doesn't. All other voltages at the secondary of that transformer (-16, +24, etc) = are good. I wondering whether anyone has a training manual on this set that tells = why B+ on/off might be blocked from working. The micro costs $42, and the = set will fire up now and then, so I want to avoid buying that chip if = something else is preventing startup.
