Title: Fried sanyo 20 ez
Post by: ccgamesceo on June 08, 2015, 08:01:42 pm
Just picked up a Popeye cab and it seems someone removed the transformer and connected the monitor directly to 120v frying it. What if anything can I salvage and what should I trash?
Thanks

I think you could repair it. I would start with removing the HOT, replace the most likely blown fuses and see if the b+ works. should be 108VDC.

If you get 130VDC when plugged into the isolation transformer then replace the Q901 and probably the vreg IC901 as well.

If the B+ checks out see if the hot is blown.
