probably a 1982 vintage Carvin tig welder on the bench,
couple a state of the art transformer off the Shumacher bench with B+/Plate circuit board traces which are located 1/16" from the metal chassis and you have yourself a repair job.
got a nice 1/2" blue arc off the blu lead of the transformer trace to ground, so we rip up the traces and run wires, problem solved......
not!
amp comes back and we are out of solutions, seems to run fine on the bench, wtf, over?
gotta be the transformer.
so what if the amp comes back, what is a slight ding to the rep compared with an excuse to do a complete teardown on a vintage Carvin? are you with me so far or do we need to break it down further?
