SirPeale:
Something weird is going on with BOARD 2.

Went to troubleshoot it with the logic probe, and as soon as I attach it to ground and +5VDC, the lights start flashing. That's WITHOUT touching the lead to anything.

I thought maybe I broke it somehow, but tested it on BOARD 1 and it works just fine.

So what would make the probe do that?

channelmaniac:
Bad power supply fluctuations or noise from bad caps. Use a scope to see how much trash is on the 5v line.

SirPeale:
Don't have one, but could certainly use one!

SirPeale:
I swapped out my Centipede Mini into storage so I could start working on this cab.    Pictures when I take them.

I never did take a good look at the cab before now, wow it needs help.  Lots of rust (like all the other cabs from this haul).  Tiny bit of water damage on the bottom.  And FILTHY.  Man, it's gross.  Art needs a lot of touchup.  It won't take long to get this straightened out with concentrated effort.

Neverending Project:
How do plan on doing the aet touchup? Mine needs a lot too, and I was thinking about buying a cheap airgun to spray on some touchup, but that would require a lot of masking.
