Hi Jim,
I am sure I will need to study this whole transformer issue in much more detail. I am also sure I will have some questions for you.
In general, I am trying to get a handle on some basic concepts and reduce things to the most basic factors. That was the reason I ask the question about what causes things to over heat. i.e the current question. I am well aware that electronic circuits can get pretty complex in their inter relationships but there is not an unlimited amount of cause and effect relationships. Also when something is not working there are faults that are much more likely than others to be the cause. I am trying to come to a method of step by step troubleshooting combined with a good "guess" style of troubleshooting.
I assume everyone at times thinks "this is the answer" without any apparent way of knowing why they think that. I don't know how that works and I guess it is not really important how it works. It just does, and when it does it is a super fast way to get to the solution. Because just guessing does not work very often, a method that always works need to be devised.
Your advice and direction put me on the path of a much better understanding of of this amp. It took me many hours ( perhaps 30 hours) to get to the final solution. It was time well spent.
Yesterday I started on the second one I own which had several issues and was displaying the same sort of symptoms. The troubleshooting time to resolution went from 30 hours to 30 minutes!
I have one more that I will work on this afternoon. It will be instructive to see if this reduced troubleshooting time line continues!
In any event, thank you ever so much for the kind help and putting up with my questions.
All the best,
Billy
