Thanks for the tip ChicagoBill. I read 175 on one end and infinity on the other. So, I opened up the end with infinite resistance. Lo and behold, One of the wires to the transducer was disconnected (how does that happen?). I am out of town for the weekend and that was as far as I got, but I am hopeful that might be the only problem. Thanks again for the great tips!

Yet another question. While I was disconnecting wires to the board, one of the red wires to the power transistors was connected to a very rusty terminal that broke off as I took the nut off. There are still a couple of usable threads, but I wonder if there is any problem with using the other terminal on the opposite side of the transistor which is still in pretty good shape. I assume they are both connected to the power transistor case?

Thanks again,
Jerry
P.S., on the way out of town, I s0tpped in at the pawn shop that I got the amp to tell the owner that I got it running. He was surprised but not upset and wants me to work on some other amps he has that have problems! LOL
