Hi Strophlex, I tried desoldering the switch and I think a pad came a little loose there too, so I really don` t want to desolder anymore stuff unless I am shure that` s the problem. Continuity on the pads between J4 and J3 are fine. I am from Belgium but I am willing to send the base pcb anywhere to those who are willing to have a look. thanks, best regards, Joeri

Hi Strophlex, Thanks for the desoldering tips, So I looked around on the board looking for the 5v gnd bridge but I wasn` t able to locate any problems. Desoldered J73 bridge and did some more measuring; 5V pin J3 and pin 1 J73 gave good tone ;gnd pin J3 and pin 2 J73 gave sometimes good tone sometimes nothing I also think I heated up the insert from pin2 J73 too much as it came loose a little. Overall I think it is best to let somebody with better electronical know-how have a look at this board because I certainly wouldn` t want to brake anything else at this point. Maybe even sending this to anyone on the forum? thanks for the trouble and for helping me out best regards, Joeri

Hi strophlex, I measure 5V at pin 1 but when i measure ground pin from psu input and pin 2 of the switch it gives me a distorted continuity sound, pin 4 of the switch gives me a normal continuity sound. Also measuring with the ground pin from the psu input and the ground at J3 or J4 gives a distorted sound. Hope this helps. bad switch? bad capacitor? I don`t want to take out working parts :) thanks! best regards

sure, I have noticed I got a W06 bridge rectifier instead of a W04 listed in the parts guide, but looking at the datasheet, this shouldn` t be a problem? thanks, best regards, Joeri

Hi orange_hand, I measure *nothing between ground and 5V pins at J3, *nothing between ground and 5V pins at J4, *9V between ground and 9V pins at J4, *nothing between ground and 12V pins at J4, *13V between ground and 9-11V pins at J25, I also measured the psu pins and I have a correct 5VDC pin and a 9VAC pin thanks in advance, best regards, graantjes

Hi, First of, thanks to all who made this project happen, this will be one beast of a machine when it will be finished and this is all thanks to those involved! I finished my base pcb from wilba and I am using psu option A with 8 x 6582 SID`s. When checking voltages on my pcb I have 13,18 volts at J25 and I measure nothing at J3. Is this normal with psu option A or did I miss something? Every other test up until the Sid module assembly in the base construction guide measured out fine. Anything I missed? best regards, Joeri

thanks! If I know I will eventually receive the kit, I can allready start looking for a frontpanel :)

me too, Is the list still active? Is smash tv still making pcb` s and kits for this project? best regards, Joeri
