JX8P PS problem?

Sorry, but here's another really basic question regarding my JX8P-
The power supply board has connectors labeled +5, +7, +15, and -15v.
Checking it without disconnecting the cables to the other boards, +5
reads about 4.9v, but +7 reads about 10v, +15 reads about .566v, and -15
reads about .5v. This has got to be a problem. Once the cables are
disconnected, the +5 stays the same, but the +7 goes up to about 11.9v
and both the + and -15v supplies read 2 or 3 mV.
Bear in mind that I'm an absolute beginner. This is bad, right? Any
suggestions on where to begin?
I know that one of the op amps on the board needed replacing. I removed
it and checked the voltages at the positive and negative input. Pin 4
(the positive input) is reading between .65 and .76v, it's not stable.
Pin 11 (the negative input) is reading .496v. Shouldn't one of these be
a negative voltage? If anyone has a service manual handy it's IC53, a
TL064.
I'm waiting on a service manual for this, but if anyone can advise me
here it would be incredibly helpful.
Thanks,
Tim
