1 channel good the other one even with a 27 ohm load oscillates at 65
percent of mains and above, bursts peaking at 40 KHz dropping back to much
lower f, extinguishing and restarting over 5 seconds or so.
power amp probably much like Carlsbro S600M
Anyone have any leads to schematic?
uses 4x MJ15024 , 2x SM2177A, 2x SM2178A each ch
predriver DC levels (prior to oscillation) certainly different to the good
ch but no obvious reason other than rain got into the amp
A lamp will go in each of the +/- rails before I fiddle again

ignore any apparent email address appearing with this posting

Removed the triac speaker prot cct just in case a reaction with that, same
result. Checked ESR of all cap types.
Upto +/-40V rails , below oscillation, all DC agree near enough on both
channels all TO3,TO220 and TO92, zeners.
Go up to about +/-45V and the 6V, 5W bulbs start glowing that I added into
the supply rails , alternately swapping dim and bright pairs very odd. Next
I'll disconnect 1 of each complementary pairing of MJ15024 and see what
happens. Any other suggestions? Next stage is sketching out the cct

Are you posting from a cellphone? Do you have an internet service provider
charging you by the byte?

Nah, he just uses this public forum to post badly-formatted, cryptic
notes to himself for future reference, apparently.

Still oscillatated with one pair and also with the other pair. Checking over
the board again there was no continuity between line level i/p ground and
the pa ground. An innocuous 1/4W resistor the same body colour as all the
others but overlooked at 2.2 ohm bands was o/c linking the grounds. No
discolouration except I managed to originally see the third band as yellow ,
not gold. No overheating on the adjascent pcb , so presumably a fusible
resistor.
In hindsight the slow "hunting" effect of the osc giving alternate loading
to main + and - rails should have suggested a ground or zero problem.
