Re: 7704A (et. al.) Inverter Regulator Question
Mark Vincent
Barry,
Goran is right about that area. VR3147 being open will throw the circuit off. C3127 and C3129 are marked ,1mfd. Some models use 1mfd in this place. I have replaced mine with the 1mfd 63V film types because the ESR of the originals was too high causing too much ripple and low B+. After replacing the parts, the B+ voltages at the pins on the 0067 IC were correct. These parts can be checked while the parts you have on order are being shipped. I also replaced the 1 and 2mfd electrolytics on the inverter board with film types of a higher voltage. The originals were bad in mine. Mark

Re: 7704A (et. al.) Inverter Regulator Question

Until I get that bad transistor replaced, then I don't plan on trying it connected to the display unit as a load. I tried that before I was aware of the bad transistor. Once I get that, I do plan to test it connected to the display unit. If it's still ticking, then it's either a problem with the display unit or the PS. In that case, the external load resistors will at least eliminate the display unit from the equation. I'll report back once I get the transistor replaced.

Re: 7704A (et. al.) Inverter Regulator Question
Hi, I have not followed this discussion very closely but my guess is that you are looking in the wrong direction.
You need to check U3105 pin 2, BAL SENSE, where the voltage should be 0V in normal operation. If it deviates more than 200mV (+ or -) then the PS should turn off. Also check U3105 pin 13, I SENSE, where the voltage shall be positive, perhaps +0.23V, in normal operation. In an over-current situation the voltage drops below 0V and the PS should turn off. If you hear a hissing and sparking sound you may have a problem with your voltage multiplier. Carry on and good luck Göran

Re: FG502 No wave
Ozan
Hi Chris,
There could be multiple issues. You can jump to “Collector voltage at Q315 = -0.6V at Q325 = -3.5V.” if you are looking for a quick answer. Turn the dial so that output (pin 6) of U135 is about +10V, pick triangle waveform, pick 10^3 range.Earlier you measured 7.28 to 19.7V which is about what is expected. Although 9.8V is fine for analysis something seems to be wrong with R110, is the pot securely mounted with no loose nuts? This is not the root cause of the “no oscillation” problem but something that needs to be debugged separately later. Voltage across R140 = +2.66V, across R175 = -2.52V, measured with + of DVM probe on collector of transistors.Thank you for giving the + reference, it eliminates any ambiguity. This says up and down currents are about 5mA. There is slight mismatch in currents, and the value is higher than expected but this should still make the circuit oscillate. This step eliminates the current source circuit as the suspect. We can re-visit the currents when you fix R110. Collector voltage of Q292 = +0.15V, R155 is quite hot and voltage at supply side is + 16.23V. No sign of any wave.Collector of Q292 should be either +5V or -5V (comparator output) in normal operation. +0.15V is not right but see below. R155 burns 16.23^2/820=0.3W. Should be warm but not very hot. If it is getting really hot you may want to measure its resistance, we are looking for much smaller than 820-ohm so in circuit testing can give you an idea. See the next item before checking it though. Collector voltage at Q315 = -0.6V at Q325 = -3.5V.This portion is the “gate function”. This is (one of?) the reasons for stopped oscillations. If collector voltage of Q325 is -3.5V it will turn on Q315 and it will clamp collector of Q292 to stop the oscillations. You can short collector of Q325 to its emitter with a piece of wire, if you get waveforms out then this is it. As for debug: I assume nothing is connected to the “GATE IN” BNC. Base of Q332 should be about two diode voltages above ground ~ 1.2-1.4V. This should turn off Q332 and turn on Q330 which supplies base bias to Q325. Base of Q325 should be one diode drop above is emitter (0.7V above -17V). This should turn on Q325 and make its collector voltage ~ -17V. You are measuring -3.5V so something is not working. In normal operation Q315 should be off but in your case I suspect Q315 is on. You can confirm by measuring voltage drop across R318 which should be 0V in normal operation. I recommend measuring base, emitter, collector voltages of Q325, Q330, and Q332. Rest can wait until this is debugged. Your “GATE” circuit is gating off the oscillations. Base voltage of Q230A = +0.14V (for reference base voltage at Q230B = +.05V) Both A and B were checked out of circuit and appear to be OK.Base of Q230A is OK given other side of the bridge is at +0.15V. Base of Q230B depends on emitter voltage of Q210, which is OK for your measurement below. Gate voltage of Q200 = +7.9V fixed i.e.. not going up / down. Please confirm that the gate connection is what would be the base if it were a transistor.Yes, you can think gate of a JFET similar to base of a transistor. Just to make sure: gate terminal is the one connected to cathode of CR145 and anode of CR175. I suspect this measurement is not at the gate of Q200 because of the following point. Emitter voltage of Q210 = +0.16V This transistor gets very hot (not unexpectedly, as it is fitted with a heat sink). Q204 also gets very hot.Emitter of Q210 should try to follow gate of Q200. We expect gate of Q200 to be ~ 0.15V and the emitter is at 0.16V which would be correct if we ignore the 7.9V measurement. Could you confirm gate voltage of Q200 again, which is the same node as cathode of CR145 and anode of CR175. Ozan

Re: "mottled effect" on anodized front panel
Greg Muir
I’ve seen similar effects from contaminated anodizing solutions. If the rinse is inadequate after the item leaves the electrolyte bath some of the acid can remain in the porous aluminum oxide layer during sealing. Over time the remaining acid can slowly affect the finish.

Novus is great for restoration and maintenance. Used extensively in pinball and video arcade hobbies and some automotive applications. Always start with #1. Use #2 gently to remove fine scratches and blemishes. #3 is rarely used...only in extreme restoration cases.
