pioneer sx1500td blowing fuse
#34

Well I finished the main amp. board finally after waiting on order for mica insulators for power transistors and holiday duties.
Reinstalled the power and main amp .boards. I brought it up on the variac and at 50 volts it was drawing over 1 amp. I figured if I continued on it would have blown the fuses in the main amp.
Just to recap the begining when I first got the receiver the 2- main amp board fuses were blown. Replaced and powered up it immediately blew the main line fuse.
I then went ahead and rebuilt the power and main amp. checked the power transformer and it tested good.
I unhooked the B+ to the main amp. repowered and it came up fine with ampers reading around .1 took voltage readings of the power board.
Here are the voltage readings from the board.( secondary of the power transformer)
AC-1--59 V
AC-2-33 V
B-1--80 V
B-2--37.6 V
B-3--23.03 V
B-4--21.60 V
B-5--12 V
I have checked an rechecked the transistors for correct placement and that the power transistors are correctly installed with mica insulators and used heat sink compound. went over the traces on the boards looking for any breaks or solder over run all looks good made sure the collector case and bolts of power trans. were not shorting to heatsink. Checked all the resistors and found none open or way off.
I then discovered that the 2-transistors on power supply unit Q1 and Q3 were getting very hot to the touch. This was with main amp still out of circuit.
Went ahead and unhooked the head amp unit B-3 on board (W21-001) from circuit and Q1&Q2 on power unit felt slightly warm. Re hooked B-3 and the Q1&Q2 started getting very hot again.
Sorry for long post but felt anyone willing to help me with what to test next would need this info.
Thanks.
