Yes, good advice. Looking again, it seems it is an L387
regulator. I'll have
to look that one up. It's so hard to cover all bases with
someone who's at
the 'practice' level. Things like making sure that the V-set
resistors are
still connected, is second nature when you do this sort of
stuff all the
time ...

well i am glad to have this advanced second nature diagnostics
helping

but it is Zero nature foreign to me though i am trying to
understand it before i blow more components.

i am very happy to have the help from everyone that know so much
as i surely would have fried it worst if possible than it already
is.

i suppose i should read back through the data sheet on L387 again
before powering up

thanks again for help,
