Title: speedball help the upper right LED does not light [resolved]
Post by: Plumbum on October 20, 2018, 12:58:05 AM

Hello! the upper right LED does not light
Terminal Voltage (DC)
OA 71V
IA 185V
B-A / B 0V
IB 185V
OB 57V

This is on the smaller PC board?

Do both LEDs remain lit on the 9 pin socket when you do this test (no need to mess with them either way).

Was the amp working OK prior to installing this board?

I assembled the speedball completely, everything works, not only one light this diode

OB 57V

This means the front PC board isn't working.  Can you pull the rear PC board out and recheck this voltage?

You have a backwards transistor on your small PC board.

PN2907A transistors, 2N2222A transistors,MJE-350 transistors, TIP-50 transistors

which to choose?

Your small PC board has MJE350 and PN2907 transistors on it.  One of them is backwards.  It's visibly obvious because the shape of the transistor is inconsistent with the white outline on the PC board where it mounts.

I broke the transistor... pn2907a, there are analogues? I'm in Russia

You'll probably be able to make more sense out of this than I can, but here is a potential source:

http://www.platan.ru/cgi-bin/qwery_i.pl?code=PN2907 (http://www.platan.ru/cgi-bin/qwery_i.pl?code=PN2907)

The prices seem pretty high, but shipping should be reasonable.
