Alrighty...mains wiring coming in is as such: plug is grounded to case with green wire. Transformer is grounded to case at same point with green wire. Brown wire from cord goes to switch on one side. Black wire coming from other side of switch goes to fuse. Black wire coming out of other...

Makes perfect sense, Dave. Thank you. I'll go look up those schematics this afternoon.

Okay...finally over pneumonia and all the aftereffects of it all and so I finally dug into the PET. Here are a few pictures of what's going on inside it. The wiring had been messed with, that's for sure. The black wires on the mains side were complete and hadn't been cut and rerouted, it looks...

Hello,everyone! I'm sorry to have been gone so long, but I've been stuck up in the hospital for almost two weeks with viral pneumonia and my kidneys decided they weren't gonna work that hard and darned near just shut down on me. I'm back though, and not feeling too terribly bad, so I'll be...

Hello, everyone! First time poster here, but I've been collecting for years. I have this 2001-N that I've finally decided to take and have it checked out, but alas, she is absolutely dead. It's obvious that the transformer isn't feeding the machine any voltage at all and I'd like to start there...
