[Jukebox-list] "PRO" help-was- WSR5 receiver

[Ron Rich]

Justin,
  An incredible amount of my bench time is spent on equipment that has "just been fixed" by "another person". I hate to charge for this work, but, I really have no choice, as it just "burns time" trying to figure out what someone else has done. Just one "wrong" component, or one, incorrectly installed, can be very time consuming to find, and, can cause many other components to fail. I do not wish to dis-courage anyone, but I feel that each person must learn to leave it alone, and pay for "pro" help, when the level is above their capabilities--it's going to be less $$, in the long run.

  Doug, I'm going with Ron on this one. If you are blowing the fuse you 
mentioned, the CCU is developing too long of a pulse to the pinbank. you 
could damage coils, and that "ain't no picnic" to replace. it's likely you 
unknowingly bent some contacts in the timing relay when you were recapping 
the CCU. get out the manual and check each contact for correct gap and 
movement. look for shorts in your work. steppers are a peculiar beast, not 
for the first timer. there is a cap not included with the kit that usually 
needs replaced to make a stepper operational, the big 5MFD AC cap (silver 
rectagle riveted to the side of the chassis). everything needs to be clean 
and gapped properly, same goes for the CCU. in the right hands it is an easy 
fix, but the wrong hands can do some serious harm here. if you don't truely 
understand what everything does and why, this is one piece you should send 
out to a pro. everybody wants to say they did it themselves, but i get alot 
of benchwork in the shop that involves expensive repairs due to home service 
attempts. justin

Doug,
Re-capping the WSR does not address all the problems that the stepper
portion (this is what the 3W1 operates) can have. I suggest that you
should do either one of two things. Read the manual, stepper section,
and see if you can figure it out, or, send it to a person such as
myself, who has lots of experiance rebuilding steppers. The fuse blowing
may or may not be related to your work--I kinda doubt that it is
related. Ron Rich
