Perhaps someone can assist me in getting my pj back up and running again.

1292 with error codes 08- 20, or error codes 02- 12, depends on its mood.

I will try to post as much info as possible. I have replaced all boards between the

tubes, PB board, PA board, Power Supply, EA board, HV splitter, and the PC board.

I have configured between 2 power supplies and 3 PA boards. No luck.


So, on to my troublshooting. I tested voltages out of the PS at connectors 281 (-16v and 15v)

and 282 (115v and 115v) on both power supplies, same voltage.


Scenario 1:
With conn# 290 (PC board) disconnected, the set will power on, no errors, but no HV. When conn#

290 is plugged back in, error 02-12 appears, no power on, no voltage on conn# 290.


Scenario 2:
With conn# 281 disconnected, and #290 plugged in, set powers on, no errors, but no HV.

But conn# 290 then gives 115v on all 3 leads.


I tried these scenarios on different configurations between spare parts, with equal results.

It appears that some type of blockage occurs between conn's# 290 and 281. Still, I believe that

something deeper inside of the pj is the cause, but I cannot seem to track it. Any thoughts?


BTW, the pj was running fine in my garage. I moved it upstairs (townhouse) and

it gave errors ever since. I did try an extension cord to another outlet, no luck. Besides,

my 808 works fine on the outlet anyways. And yes, I did PM Graham, but no feedback.

Thanks!

I just sent out some loaner boards out of my only test set, but they will be back in 2 weeks or so. I can do some measurements for you once they are back. Remind me via email.

Offtopic, after 2-3 listens, what did you find entertaining about the Phil Hendrie show? Just curious..

Okay, I'll wait on those loaner boards. I figured that you had something and was going to pm you, but I decided to post

publicly to add to the sparse 1292 troubleshooting posts. Maybe someone else has the same problem, but won't ask.


In regards to Hendrie, the first time I listened to the show, there was a Middle Eastern/ Iraqi type character bashing America.

I was so incensed that I wanted to call in and b***h the guy out. After listening to his show for a few days, I "got it", and

have been listening to people become enraged over radio airwaves ever since. Call me wierd, but I like the

old-school/amateur vibe of AM radio, and it was pretty cool to hear something different.


Thanks!

Curt,

Did those loaner boards come in yet?
