gotcha... well good job. The only thing I can think of right now is maybe there is still a cap in the psu that was installed backwards. or there is a solder bridge on the bottom side some where.
maybe check the 'optoisolator' ? http://68kmla.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=22630#p223860 Charles MacCaps.com On Feb 27, 2014, at 6:28 PM, Keith Jamison wrote: > Hi Charles, I've already recapped the PSU, Analog Board and Logic Board > electrolytics.
