Hi All;
I would suggest that the wiring arround and to the Field coil be checked, as it shouldn't get hot.. Check that the field coil is NOT shorted to the chassis..
It may have a short in the winding, but I would first check all of your wiring having to do with the Power Supply and from the Transformer to all the tapped out voltages, from the voltage dividing resistors..
Also check that all of your electrolytics are wired correctly, correct polarity..
Now, some of the other Guys and Gals with more experience may have other suggestions and say I am full of it.. but, it doesn't hurt to check your work, that much I know (from experience) for sure..
THANK YOU Marty
