[Heath] Yet more on my IP-27...

[Kenneth G. Gordon]

Well, the unit is back on the bench. Poop! :-(

While I was characterizing it, the 3000 MFD 75 VDC capacitor decided to 
"take a hike": i.e., it shorted out internally and blew two of the four diodes in 
the FW bridge along with the fuse.

All transistors appear to be OK.

This makes 3 of the electrolytics in that PS which have either been bad to 
begin with, shorted out while I was fixing the PS, or shorted out after I had it 
working.

I am going to replace ALL of them with new ones.

Gee....

Now, after I replace the caps,  all I will need to do is to find a can of Krylon 
"Make it Suede" #1241 Buckskin to re-do the cabinet. So far, no luck on that 
yet either.
