Re: HP 140B LVPS -12.6V Not Working
The problem is there is no -12.6V. That sits a zero and I can't determine why. There is sufficient voltage at the collector of Q481. If Q481 were open that could cause it. If -12.6V was overloaded,

Re: HP 140B LVPS -12.6V Not Working
You should have more than 0.7V across BC of Q484 in normal operation, E is connected to the -12.6V output, B should be approx -12V and C +2V.
Another common problem is some of the larger film
