Transistors for teeth? They do have roots...
I picked up a very clean inside, and nothing burnt SX-1010 for a pretty good price to restore. The main fuse had a 30A in there, and the idiot fuse was blown. Thanks to Pioneer for putting the backup fuse in there! Anyways, after replacing those the DBT is showing super bright. I am in process of checking everything and I am testing the output transistors currently (left in circuit). Should I be taking all the output and driver transistors out of circuit to test? I have been getting voltage going through on every transistor with the diode function tests for (emitter to collector/ collector to emitter when it's supposed to be OL). Otherwise the other tests everything has tested good from what I have checked so far. I still need to check the smaller transistors. None have shorted continuity between the pins like I have found in the past on other receivers with blown transistors. I'm trying to save having to remove everything if it's still good! LOL.
PS. I am aware of all the 1010 threads and have gone though some already, especially the 30 page one. Any pointers would be appreciated thanks!
