cut vca switch
« on: July 03, 2020, 11:34:41 PM »
it has started to smell burnt out and the cut switch on the group 1 vca suddenly lights up very dimly.  Which card should I check?
Thank you

Possibly the BFR39 / BFR80 transistors on the CF80E20 card.
If these blow through, the adjacent 10R resistors will probably burnout as well. The evidence will be clear.
I had this happen to a few of my VCA groups.
