Jorge, I ran into that exact problem a few months ago, but must rely on memory only, because my s/m is loaned out. On the convergence power supply, near the transformer, there are two large diodes to rectify the plus25 and minus 25 lines. Measure that voltage--one of both is breaking down under load. Don't remember, either a 164589 or 164590 RCA part number. Some use a ECG/NTE580 as a sub. Don't like to do that, but you could try it as a test. If that does it for you, be a pal and give the circuit symbol for that for the rest of the guy's records. Hope this helps, Ken Smith Gulf Technical Services 3034 Gulf Breeze Parkway Gulf Breeze, FL 32563 850-934-8324 (Voice) 850-932-0819 (Fax) On Thu, 27 Jun 2002 02:20:47 -0500 Jorge Camboni <geo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> writes: > > > What about the vertical amplifier? those things don't come on if > there is no vertical output.
