Not sure if this is the right place to post to but....
Looking for the schematic/circuit for a Vision Engineering Alpha Microscope PSU main PCB.
I salvaged a much used and abandoned microscope for home use.
Initially the lamps were flickering at about 2Hz which I cured by replacing the main Electrolytic, but now at power up, the circuit takes several attempts to ramp up to full light level.
I have gathered up data sheets for the ICs and I am hoping that someone has a schematic/circuit diagram before I have to trace out the board.
I believe the problem area is the Triac (MAC223A-8-ON) driven by a Zilog (Z86E0412PSC) that produces the lamp level PWM?, so anyone with experience of this type of circuit I would appreciate hearing from you.
I have yet to start probing the board with my scope, but this will be my first use of it, so I am doing a lot of reading up before I start poking into a live board.
Thanks in anticipation.
