I flinched and the +8.5 rail got shorted to the -15 volt rail. My +8.5 rail now reads about +3.5 volts. I tried replacing the Op-amp with one I had lying around. That didn't work. I can't seem to figure out what transistors are associated with the bad rail either. Further inspection revealed that that my PSU is not the same as the diagram that I downloaded off of the internet. Does anybody have another schematic version for my CS-80 PSU? Mine is one of the later models based on the temperature designations associated with the module boards. On another note, some of you folks were right about me screwing up the solder job. I found one mistake so far. -Mike
