no shorts on any of the power regulator chips 5v L387 or the

and still get 76 ohm continuity between 5v an 0v ref.

Ummm, what's wrong with that? I = E/R: 66mA. This
(static) current isn't blowing the fuse.

oh yes the fuses blow.

ther were 3 bussman fuses on different lines and such and they
are all blown

right now i am trying to track down the short(S) so i ca do
better static tests on various components without removing and
then try and power the board back up and look for other problems

at least according to the advice i have recieved etc.
thanks for taking time to look and offer some help , i sorely
need it,
