If you have a shorted HO Transistor, its easy to tell. Just set your multimeter on "diode test", put black probe on chassis and red on the (121-831) HOT case (the collector), it should read open but if you get the beep, its probably shorted. reversing the leads will read the damper diode, usually OK.
Never saw a fly go on these, but the "22-5001? white critical cap fails - HOT shorts" always the issues I saw. just my 2c
We'll help you fix and keep it. 
Minor, inexpensive repairs will keep yours alive indefinetly!
Like Bryan said, we has parts. just find which one is bad. |
Yes, it does have the black slate top! What a great piece of furniture if nothing else.
I attempting to study and understand your and others directions for testing as I learn more about the language, numbers, circuit, etc. Still a bit over my head at this point but I'm trying.
