Hey all,
I've got a K7000 chassis that seems to have the middle pin of the HOT reading shorted to the other 2. I don't think this is normal...and was just wandering if anyone had any thoughts as to what might be causing it. I pulled the HOT to replace it with a new one (although the old one read fine to the best of my knowledge). The middle pin reads shorted even with no HOT installed. Could a bad Critical Cap cause this. It also had a blown fuse. Wanted to make sure this wasn't some other problem before I put power back to it. I also don't think the IC-4 is bad although I may change it just to make sure. The pin being shorted just has me a bit worried. Any ideas?
