|    Help with Rock Ola 1446 - 5U4 wont power    |

      Well my wife wanted a Jukebox, so I thought, should not be a big deal to       restore one. :). Its now 2 months later (150+ hours) and there is light at       the end of the tunnel, but I'm stuck now and I can't figure it out.              The jukebox worked ok (Selector pin, blown speaker, and turn table issues)       before I tore her down. I completed all of the basic repairs and all the       cosmetics, but did not touch the amp or power distribution unit, since someone       had done a basic rebuild on        it 10 years. I did change the cable between the amp and power box, because the       insulation was breaking inside the cable. Upon reassembly everything works       fine except no sound came out of speaker.              I found that the RU4 tube does not glow when the record is playing, but all       other tubes glow. The start relay works properly and I have around 40vac on       one set of contacts and 12vac on the other. Voltages at the RU4 do not seem to       change at all when I        manually press the start relay and close the contacts.               The Schematic says I should be getting high voltages on certain pins of the       RU4, but the highest I see is around 40vac, with or without the start relay       engaged.              I would be greatly appreciative of any help. I wanted to give the Jukebox to       my wife for mothers day, but that looks in jeopardy now.              Thank you for your time.              Clark               925-980-8392       crumer1@msn.com              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
