Power transformer for stereo - shorted - why?
Hello,
I'm troubleshooting a dead "Brother BR-600XL HiFi Music Center" (cd-tape-phono-tuner integrated unit). If anyone has info on this please post - the Internet yields nothing. The unit is powered by a big (about 2"x3"x4") transformer with two apparent secondary windings - red-black-red wires both, with red at ends and black is probably the tap on each. One of the windings has a capacitor between the 'red' contacts, with one of the leads also soldered to the black contact, which seems to have an effect of shorting a part of the winding. In addition there are two resistors near the transformer, but when measured they appear shorted, however there is no visible damage to them. What could this mean? Yours, MaxVT |
