Actually, I have just changed that C546 and R546 as they were burned and shorted.
I did not change transistors Q540,542,530 or 532.
With the diode test they checked OK.
Funny seeing that pic of yours, I thought hey that looks familiar.
I rebuilt the Current Switch CR140 etc and new transistors Q140 and Q175. There was a lot of flux in this area from the previous owner and when I touched the connection between the diodes and resistor it just fell apart.
Replaced resistor R284 which was burned and cracked.
Checking Pin 6 output on U140 and U175 varying voltage while moving the Frequency knob.
The timing capacitors check out fine.
Yet, I have never had a Frequency output waveform or an output trigger waveform.
The Trigger Output is dead.
The main output has voltage which can be varied by the amplitude switch of near 0 - 1.3 Vdc.
I am still working my way through since changing those parts.
But I imagine I have some dead transistors somewhere.
I still get no waveform at Q290.
Will have to work on this tonight.
