Hi folks,
This is the current problem I am trying to solve in this fix.
Please refer to the attached part of the schematics
Step Amplifier Sch 3.pdf (124.65 kB - downloaded 66 times.)
There signal at TP360 (voltage set resistors input) is ok, on both polarities.
However, the is no signal at P429 pin1 ( Step Amplifier Out to test fixture (tek 177).
I have disconnected and tested VR380/VR382 and Q384/Q386 and Q450A/b (dual NJFet, tek#151-1054-00 or DN1114)
All the he semiconductors were tested ok using a Peak Atlas DC75Pro.
Also, replace U380 (by MC1456) Is this a suitable replacement?
However, the voltage at pin 5 of U380B pin 5 is around -11V (referred to ground). Is this the correct reference?
This voltage should be 0V according to the schematics
This is a voltage follower, but the U380B output is at -2.7 V ! (Why?)
Also, I could not locate R450 in the part placement diagram in both the Artek Media scan and paper copy of the service manual.
Any ideas?
Thanks
