Cinematronics Data Power Power Supply Issue ***RESOLVED***
Having a hard time trying to get the power working on Star Castle. Not familiar with this power supply and haven't found too much info on it. The issue is that I'm not getting power to the board (tested with MM, diode doesn't light on the board). Replaced all transistors on the supply board, including the bottle cap on the frame. Pulled and checked all diodes and they are good. On the transformer (this supply has the isolation and power on the same block), I get 6.3 VAC across lugs 13 and 14. Aside from that, I can't tell how to read the rest of the lugs as there are no voltage labels (not sure which is 0) and nothing obvious to me in the schematics.
My guess is that I measure across lugs 7 and 8 and 8 and 9, and I should get around 5VAC, correct? When I did this, I got 10.6 VAC for both.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
