Are the back to back diodes going directly to a ground trace or staying strictly on C6's leads?? Also, do you have any acetone??

Unsolder and lift one leg of D9. Power back up and see if you still have 40v+dc . Also check rail votage. I want to see just how high it goes with the DBT you have in line...
I forgot to mention, D9 was replaced in LEFT. Lifted Right channel D9 with no change.
Rail voltage +54 and -59

Take the dbt out of circuit and briing the variac up to 80 volts. Then see what you have bias and DC offset.

dbt out of circuit, rail 200R B+/B- in circuit, 80vac input= .024 on left output,+57 vdc on right.
I must sign off for the night and resume Sunday after work.
Feel free to send me more tests in the meantime.
Big thanks to Lee and Joe.

I like the Transformer/robot look....


Dennis this is the same one I built last year when Joe was doing his bed of nails thing. 1 channel, one driver and output for each rail.

I remember the bed of nails but I don't remember your test setup - getting old sucks. Maybe she does too. :confused2::confused2::laughing9::laughing9::laughing9::confused2::confused2:
