I'll look into that.  Thanks for the info!

I think I am the right path.  In the pic, there are 4 little black diodes (I think that's what they are).  When I test the 2 on the left, I get readings from the top lead, but not the bottom.  On the right 2, I get readings from both ends.  Is this normal?

I'm certainly no pro, like you guys.  If you could give me some pointers, that would be great!  My dad did the majority of the work back in the early 70's, and I changed a few wires 5 years ago.  If you could point out which joints look iffy, I could redo them.

 I have tried three times to upload a pic.  It keeps telling me the file size is too large.  Not sure what to do now.

Before I start to take readings, there is alot of brownish stains on the outside of the solder.  Is this exess flux, and could this be part of the problem?

I have the board out of the amp right now.  To do the tests, do I need to have it plugged into the wall so that there is power to the board or can I do the tests unplugged?

I'm not sure where the +38Vdc rail is, and how do I remove the speaker load?  I'm not an electrician, but I want to learn more about these things.

Hello everyone.  I have an old Heathkit TA16 giutar amp my dad built for me when I was a kid.  I wanted to bring it back out and start playing again, but when I plugged it in, nothing.  I am no electrical wizard, but I can learn with help.  I have worked on it before and had it working, but there is no sound now.  Where do I start?  Any help would be great!  Thanks in advance.
