Page 7: Heat Sink Removal
HEAT SINK REMOVAL To remove the Heat-Sink assemblies, remove 4 screws per side. 4826 Sterling Drive, Boulder, CO 80301 PH: 720.406.8946 FX: 720.406.8967... - Page 8 POWER TRANSISTOR REPLACEMENT To replace the Darlington transistors, remove 4 mounting screws on each heat-sink. The TO3 Insulator Sil-Pads should always be replaced when a transistor is reinstalled for any reason. After replacement the Darlington transistor mounting screws must be torqued to 8 inch pounds. If a transistor has failed, be certain to test the emitter resistors R11-R14.
- Page 9 REGULATOR PCB REMOVAL To replace the Main PCA remove the four corner screws being careful to not lose the stand-off spacers. The thermal sensor R10 is mounted on the bottom side of the PCA so it can protrude into the heat-sink.This thermal sensor is sometimes glued into the insulating spacer (Better seen in next picture).

Next check to make sure that the fan driver transistor Q6 is a BC337G and that it is installed up-side-down compared to the silk screen on the Main PCA. Use an Ohm Meter to measure for shorts between the Q6 transistor legs.
