[Heath] Tutor Wanted

[Dave Edwards]

Doug.....

I would suggest finding one symptom at a time, and posting it to the 
group. This way, you can hope to get 3 or more responses.....if they all 
agree, you probably have the answer.
If they are three different suggestions, you can try them all....and 
better learn what the line of thought is.
In addition, this gives others the chance to learn as well by reading 
along.  Some may be shy to throw their $.02 in, but are curious as to 
the progress of the repair.

This is a very powerful way of proceeding....you get some very smart 
troubleshooters all spinning their wheels to come to a successful 
conclusion.

I suggest starting with......
1. Does anything light up?    (tubes, light bulbs etc.)  Perhaps a fuse 
is blown. If stuff lights up, then at least you have power, and a 
working filament transformer.

Use direct simple subject (SHAWNEE REPAIR) to make it easier for those 
to track the goings-ons.

I've done this several times, and the bright folks on this group have 
helped me get a rig (and tube-type stereo amp) running again!

......Dave
