My Problem is with the +10 V supply for all of the switching circuitry, LED power, etc. We were sitting at +4, there was a bad Zener just off the rectifier, replaced it and now we're sitting at +15.
While I'm sure that there are different assemblies, the schematic for any one of them would probably get me close enough to troubleshoot this down.
I was basing my +10V on what the BV60 uses, and I have dead on -10V. Now that I know that -10v should be -15v I can troubleshoot that further also. Other symptoms are no sound, no LEDs, but other than that, everything is normal. Heaters are fine, HV is fine. Obviously, I knew that there was an issue with the vactrols but since I had no schematic, I was kind of limited to the normal tube amp checks and then tracing the switching circuit as best I could.
I'll give it a look with the schematic tomorrow and report what I find.
