Well... you know how sometimes you feel like you just maybe shouldn't have gotten up this morning? I'm having one of those days...
I evidently wired the substitute 2N3055 wrong and blew my the line fuse... then I began having issues with marginal meter leads and meter batteries (which have been on order)... then I blew the F1419 fuse ...
So, I need to order some more fuses, and get meter batteries, and check my meter leads, but first take a break so I can remember this is supposed to be fun :-)
I'll return to this repair job and this thread sometime next week. Thanks to everyone for helping, and hopefully we will work on it together again soon.
Keith
