OK..deep breath...I started this because it was relaxing, well until I started this 118. It is kicking my butt, now it's doing goofy things, i.e. it plays for an hour then nothing except a little static from the speaker. I turn it off then wait an hour, turn it on, my Isolation transformer circuit breaker pops, I pull the rectifier it comes on, I check the rectifier it's good, no shorts. Ohm check the trans, it's fine. power it up and check voltages, good. Check wiring nothing appears to be rubbing or bad. Put the 80 back in fires up and plays...for an hour. I'm about to donate it to Ron to sell Saturday as is because honestly I'm sick of looking at this chassis.
Pardon my rant I needed to get it off my chest, if there are any suggestions please let me know.
Thanks,
Glenn

Happily back in Illinois..not.
