Switched wires on 16u and 17u [resolved]

Okay, got the power PC board out

Do you mean the board over the 9 pin socket, or the board on the power transformer?

I took out the board over the power transformer.  I think I misunderstood before. 

You would indeed get zeros everywhere if you removed the power supply PC board. PB meant remove the driver PC board over the nine pin socket.

Well that certainly makes sense Doc that the readings would be 0. 

I think I'll need a new power supply board at this point and then can see how things look.  (I've contacted replacement parts for a new one).

I think at this point, you should consider sending this amp in for the flat rate repair service.  If you do, please include all the parts that we have sent you (including any boards that may or may not be working).

I think I'll go ahead and do that.  Thanks.

I performed the repairs today on this amplifier.  The chain of zener diodes was indeed compromised and had to be replaced.
