    I've decided to change the caps on the power supply, I might as well, while I'm there changing the main filter caps. I promise no more till I see if I have a working amp . IF not I might just smash the hell out of it, kidding!

      Very good idea to do that.

        Yea, what the hell is a few more caps, I have them.

            I'm back, started to recap the power supply, have 3 more smaller caps to do, then the 4 larger ones. While I have those large filter caps out, I'll check the components that I couldn't reach. After that is complete, we will test the amp, and hopefully have a perfect working amp. Fingers crossed.

                Oh, before I forget: Take that protection relay out and check it. Also check the coil resistance.

                  I can. I'LL just replace it, I have 8 of them new.

                      I got the first two mainfilter caps pulled, pain in the ass. Who would run wires under a cap. Now my leads on new caps are short. Components are checking out so far. The plate resistors that is. Get back to it on sat. HOLIDAY!

                        put the wire on the other side of the board if it bothers you

                          No, too much work, just a ridiculous design that's all. I'll have to extend the leads with something, they just make it through the board, and are flush with the other side. It would have been perfect if it was another 1/16 in longer.

                              I have to agree, now I have to extend all the leads on the caps because they are short. If they would sit flush with the board that wouldn't be necessary, but wires are run under the caps. More bullshit work to do I guess.

                                Aren’t the new filter caps a bit smaller in diameter? I’d be tempted to relocate some wires.

                                  I'M going to take a closer look, and see what I can do. I recapped my other KA 701, and don't recall having to do all this. Keep in mind it's a little different. I might just have to relocate a few wires. The caps used were kemet, and I have the Nichicon now. Both are snap in type. I don't think any caps this size or value have longer leads. Yes new caps are just a few mm smaller in width. Definitely in height by a good inch.

                                    Yes, usually new caps are smaller than the old vintage ones. One amp must be newer than the other one that’s for sure.

                                      Yea I really never looked into that, I know I bought in 79 or 80. When I was a sophomore in High school. Saved forever for it.Well I have two choices relocate some wires, or extend the leads. What do you think?

                                        Personally and because I can, I would relocate these wires. I just don’t like wires squished underneath components, can’t stand that. But that is just me and my OCD.

                                          Just had to ask, I can , and will relocate them as well. That was just a stupid design. I just can't see engineers doing stupid shit like this, but It did last 50 yrs. I guess it will be a few more days work for me. I'm slow as you can see.

                                            by jm1234
                                            Hi, I'm seeing one 9V relay having temperature 40C on its 9V (primary) side. Does that seem right? I switched 2 relays on that board and the temperature was the same (on the same position), so I'm sure it's not a faulty relay. I measured voltage on that relay and it was 9.5V DC, so that looks good. I don't see any other relay on that board having that kind of temperature and they have 9V on them too.
                                            I thought maybe the transistor that is switching this relay keeps switching on/off, so I also checked for AC and there was almost none: 0.3V using mV range. No steady frequency was shown, but...

                                            Hi everyone!
                                            I have this board that suddenly stopped supplying power to an output that drives an interchanger cleaner motor.
                                            I checked while the board was in place with all wires attached and there's no AC voltage on the corresponding plug X5
                                            This X5 is driven by fuse F8 (tested OK) which comes from the second orange relay
                                            To make sure there are no charcoaled contacts inside the relay, I got a 24VDC power supply and got it ready to manually power up the coil side of these relays.
                                            I respected the polarity, positive to cathode of protecting diode
                                            So provided all...

                                            Backlight strip quality, Amazon vs Ebay vs ShopJimmy. Is there really a difference?
                                            by DXseekerMO
                                            Hello everyone!

                                            Recently I've noticed that some ShopJimmy backlight strips don't have double-sided tape installed upon them when an application calls for it, and I must purchase the tape separately. In a recent chat conversation with a customer service agent I told them if this tape wasn't applied when it was called for I would begin to consider ordering my backlight strips elsewhere. It looks like this time may have come.

                                            I recently got a TCL 65S4 with bad backlights. After looking at the SJ listing here: https://www.shopjimmy.com/tcl-jl-d65...365as-m-led-ba...
                                            Yes
                                            0%
                                            1
                                            All backlight strips are the same quality

                                            Hello all,

                                            I'm stumped on this guy, so wanted to see if anyone has any further ideas:

                                            Intro:

                                            This is an Acer Nitro 5 AN515-55-55M1 with unknown prior history (bought "as-is" on eBay). It charges the battery and powers on from both AC adapter and battery, so I think this rules out main power issues.

                                            Upon attempt to boot, it will "reboot" (meaning powers down and then powers on again) only once, and then stays stuck in a status of lights on / no post / no monitor. Powering on with fn+esc maxes out the fans on first boot attempt,...
