Hi all

Great group.
I`m well into a resto of my Polysix.
I`ve fitted a KiwiSix board and psu.
I have replaced the paired transitor
with a 2SC1583 45G.
I`ve replaced the opto coupler with a VTL5C9
and I`ve replaced the three ICs 17.18 and 19.
When measuring IC18 pin7 to TP5 I`m still
getting -13v.
Any suggestion on what to change next would
be much appreciated.

Many Thanks

Dave

Which version board is it ? The one with the daughterboard uses a different IC for I8. If it's that board, it's pin 6 you need to check...

The IC most suspect to fail in this circuit is the 4051 (IC31). I'd 
replce it first, before doing anything else...

Hi Florian
Thanks for the suggestion.
ICs 31 and 24 both have sockets on them
so someone changed them in the past.
I fitted new 4051s into the sockets but I`m still
getting -13v on IC18 pin7.
My Polysix is new production.
Any further suggestions would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks

Dave
