Hi, my "new" amp needed a new power cord - done.
While inside I noticed a badly burnt 100ohm resistor off 6L6 pin 2. Replaced.
Since then the channel switching won't work and the relay is buzzing when activated.
I've traced a signal to the last coupling cap before the relay (.047uf off V3B pin6 - V3A and V3B are reversed on my diagram) - after the cap the signal gets shorted to ground, as per circuit design.
Incidentally I've noticed my fist new 100ohm resistor was an old old carbon compound type, and caused more buzzing in the relay - a new 100ohm give less buzzing but still no switching..
I get good control voltages on the coil side of relay (8V - 0v footswitch side, and 8v - 5v transformer side), and it seems like it's trying to switch..
What's the collective wisdom?????
try another 100ohm??
Can the clear cover come off the relay to clean contacts?
What else comes to mind ??
thanks for any thoughts,...
Regs, Dave
