listen to beaky not me - hes forgotten more than i'll ever know.  

thanks but there is no use checking any connectors on the boards in the back box until he has verified all the voltages are right on the rectifier board like you have suggested  

as the board says there are HIGH VOLTAGES present so take care when poking around with your multimeter

also Strangeways has had a lot of experience with these machines so he has some very good pointers to follow also
