Well, if you had ANY experience at all on audio amps you would not be asking the question...... you are correct. That said, always start with the power supply. read the voltage values on the big caps (amp on/DVM). You should have high rail voltages from 25 to 60 volts typically. If you got no rail voltages, check for AC input and output from the power transformer. If you got that check the rectifier diodes or bridge rectifier packs. If the PS checks out, put a audio signal in the input and use your scope to follow its path. If you have signal at the amps direct output, check to see if you have signal flow through the output transformer. Output transformers do fail. I have even seen one fail ONLY on the 70 volt winding. And some old amps have a jumper on the back to route the 70 volt. check carefully. Basically, tackle stage at a time and go through it in a staged and logical manner. Just for reference, bad outputs and power supply problems would be at the top of your list....... Bob thanks... I follwed that route, and basiclly I discovered I have a very low signal output. I am going to have to dismantle the supply and then extend the wiring so I can reach.. and trace the signal better. |
