hi
i recently bought a pts160. when first turned on, the 5v was pulled quite
low: < 3v. after an hour or so, the condition cured, the 5v = 5.1v and the
output matched the decades.
then, it died again. so i know there is a unit worth saving.
i tried another more robust 5v supply, but that goes to 4.5v and ng output.
i removed each of the plug-in decades, one at a time, looking for the guilty
one. no joy. i also removed the left rear module (uses 5v). the other two
modules only use 12v. which is fine.
has anyone been here before? could it be a problem in the backplane (a work
of art, btw)?
many thanks...
dave
