Got the PS working and it was mostly pilot error.? The previous owner had replaced the Jones connector on the DC cord with Molex connectors for whatever reason and had put PowerPoles on the Jones connector..
The devil is in the details... :D
So that leaves the very low sidetone volume, no forward/reflected power on the meter and the wonky ALC to fix before I put the rig on the air.? I'm wondering if the ALC pot on the ALC board migt be dirty or bad.? I may try a shot of DeOxit to see if that helps.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Again, do not use DeOxit on pots. Use a cleaner that is designed specifically for pots, like Faderlube. Or just clean the entire ALC board with alcohol. Drake liked high impedance circuits and crud accumulation on boards can sometimes throw things off.
