OK, so I bought a PM3055 with an intermittent fault, occasionally wouldn't power up.
The day after it blew, fuse black
removed and checked V6014 & V6018 BUZ80 and BUT11 not BUW12A as diagram suggests...both s/c dead. Managed to acquire some BUT11 but no BUZ80 found a jap device that looked better on Paper 2SK1460. Before fitting these I checked everything on primary and secondary, no s/c diodes or secondary rails, small caps on primary side allmeasured fine once isolated from the PCB. SCR across +&-48V was fine. BZX79C3V0 V6021 was s/c, but that was it.
After reading comments here I set up a Variac for 90V AC fitted the two new devices and with a T1.6A fuse and PSU out of the scope applied power, not immediate and not violent but fuse blew, checked on secondary and there was virtually no voltage on any of the supplies from the failed start. The BUT11 was dead again but the 2SK device was fine, re checked again found nothing decided to change the secondary caps (just in case) fitted another BUT11 and a smaller fuse T1A and tried again, fuse blew (not violent) and second BUT11 was dead....2SK FINE.?
Around this time I was worried that I had a transformer with S/C turns or bad Q, I got a (working) power supply form a modern LCD Tv and hocked it up so that it drove the transformer on the PM3055, only ran it briefly while checking secondary and supplies appeared albeit over voltage...
scratches head. At this point I wondered where the BUT11 had come from, it had been changed in the past and the diagram says it should be BUW12A, I got my hands on a BUW13A but it's in a different (larger) package... I shoe horned it in, cut the trace to the transformer from V6017 V6019 isolating it and fitted a 40w bulb, looking at the action of the BRY39 firing realised a substantial current would be needed to develope 1.34V across the two parallel resistors in the BUW emitter connection, I removed them and put a 10R in place,fitted a new fuse turned variac to zero. Applied power gradually bulb glows brighter and brighter and then abruptly goes very dim, fuse OK. Tried again same result, measured voltage across gate and cathode of BRY39, it rose with the mains and lamp brightness got to 0.6V and then the lamp went dim. Clearly the BRY device was working, Hooked up my other scope and checked what was happening at the gate, voltage goes up and then at 0.6V ping the circuit bursts into oscillation, I carried on increasing the mains all that happened was the frequency got higher. Put a 60W bulb in parallel with the other and tried the same the lamps did not light at all?.. but checking with the scope on the gate of the 2SK1460 showed the circuit had started oscillating virtually straight away, long before I got to 90V on the variac and showed a good strong pulse.
Removed bulbs, reconnected the transformer and again with variac at zero applied power, secondary supplies appeared quickly and stabilised... power supply has now worked perfectly for days and has been fine refitted to the scope and left on.
Im still confused as to wether the BUT11 should have been there in the first place, but replacements did not work, maybe one of the secdary caps although measuring fine went very bad as power was applied, I did go over the old Ines with my (ancient) Dick Smith ESR meter and although not good none were tragically bad.
Hope this helps, get the bulbs and the variac out! Ignore above advice about not using it.
