This is what I am suspecting. It turns on, works somewhat, but then poops out intermittently. I tried to check the wires but I m all thumbs in that arena. I

Hi, First time responding in forum. Check the DC voltages with the wires connected (under load) to circuit with power on. Voltages should be as per manual.

Here a suggestion: try to remote control your Polaris. E.g. find an old Atari ST and run the programms which are delivered over the Polaris-Page. See

I seriously doubt that you have 6116 s with 30 nSec access times. More likely 300 nSec. So you are thinking that just because something used to work, that it

Ok Bob; Thanks for these ideas. I’ve checked some of these things but I’ll get set-up and give your suggestions a less hap-hazard try. Two kinds of 6264

Thanks for the suggestion Greg. OK I’m going to calibrate that again just to make sure. Should I do this under load or with the PSU output disconnected from

Resistance is measured in ohms. You never measure resistance in a circuit with the power on. The meter uses its own current to measure the resistance. Any

So, stick the lack lead on one and the red lead on the other? What Ohms / Volts will I be looking for? Anything above 0? The membranes are pretty tough now

What I would suggest is that you use a multimeter to see if there is an electrical connection between the two signals that I mentioned. You can measure

You need a multimeter to check the supply voltages, don t touch the trimmers as your voltages can go out of spec and damage the guts. But do get them verified
