Title: Voltage Check Issue (Resolved)
Post by: BLACKPIPE on March 24, 2017, 07:04:19 PM

Apparently I am not all that great at this amp business.

I ran the voltage checks for the Crack and was within normal limits for all terminals except T5 & T9.

T5 was approximately 148 (50-100V range)
T9 was approximately 146 (90-115V range)

These both are quite above the 10% deviation range. I went over the terminals/resoldered all the connections (to each of those terminals) & when I rechecked the voltages I was still having about the same readings from my multimeter.

The wire that looks wonky to me is the RED from A1 - 5U, but I'll let you experts tell me what my plan of action should be since I'm amp illiterate.

Here's some pictures of my not so pretty job (warning: partially burnt wires ahead).

Have you installed both the LEDs on the 9 pin socket?

 Do they light up?

The LED to A3 appears to be missing.

I can't believe I missed that step. I was wondering why I had an extra led, I was thinking it was in case the other one was faulty. Oof.

Thank you both for catching my mistake!

All the voltage checks were within normal limits!
