I had questioned thetragichero on the 602 board in his initial post because I knew it was the negative regulator board.
After several pm's he sent me photos - front and back of the board and it was in fact a 602! Someone in the past "worked"on the amp and literally mangled it. The issue of the 602 board is now moot. He rebuilt the power supply section on a board and added an IC regulator to provide the +23 volt supply for the 102 boards. Now have the +23 and 40 volt +/- supplies solid. Tackling issues with the 702 board now. Discovered several "replacement" components out of tolerance, connected to the wrong points, etc. Also as I stated in post above, the 1N3754 had been replaced with a substitute diode that was covered in thermal grease and hanging in mid air. After replacing all the caps on the 702 board he is in the process of checking the rest of the components.

RE messages in queue - I had only passed that on as he had stated it tome at the time he was constantly booted off after logging in. Did not mean that you had missed anything Steve.
