One of my new arrivals is on the workbench now: SX-1010F (General Export Version). I snatched two of these for a 300 mile drive and a handful of €€€. Both in good but far from mint condition, one is working w/o any issues and the other one is the patient on the bench. DOA, no light, no nothing. Opened it up and found some good and some bad things:
- the main filter caps have already been exchanged (good?!?)
- they have been installed incorrect/lousy (bad!!!)
- the Power Supply Board is untouched and NOT burned (good?!?)
- AC wiring is hazardous - ground wire coming from wall AC missing (bad)
- main fuse (6A) blown (no wonder...)
- all boards look to be factory fitted with original parts (good!)
I will start with a new 6A-fuse hooked to the DBT and investigate further. As I do have all required caps, diodes and transistors on hand, a full recap/restore will be next after the basic inspection. Stay tuned for this adventure
