I fully agree with Kamakiri and it's dam tough not to get baited into plugging it in to see what you got!. Not only can you cause damage But trying to trouble shoot something with multiple problems is like chasin rabbits.


Effort rewarded on first trial. Note! of all the capacitors in the pile only one check ok. Including the eletrolytics with the pile of caps, Here are 30 plus reasons why not to turn on a unrestored set!.
