another CL grab, I picked up a Fire Trap and Zoar. Both we're absolutely filthy with sand,cobwebs,spider webs and trash inside! But I'm in the process of cleaning them both up. Fire Trap is working but I think the buttons and J/S need replacing due to age and the sand getting inside them. Zoar on the other hand I bought not working at all. There was a rodents nest inside for sure, Cleaned all of that out and found a connection unplugged and a blown up fuse,Literally! But the monitor is gone. Plays blind, Someone put the power leads for the monitor before it goes thru the ISO.
I pluged in a NEWER monitor I had sitting around and pluged in the board wire harness and it keeps blowing a 5 amp fuse where the power comes in. Then the next time it tried to fry the PCB with sparks! Crap! but it's still playing,Whew! If I plug it back into the non working monitor it doesn't blow the fuse and it plays blind? Hmm?? Never had that happen before? I know the newer monitor is good. It was in a working cab I sold about a year ago.
I'll keep looking until I figure it out. It does have a really old Grey Transformer and a second smaller one someone installed. There's something funky here with the wiring and these 2 transformers? I need to remove one or both. The power supply is ancient too! Needs to go if I can update it.
