Raimon,

If your diode voltages differ from the chart by more than 20%, that may indicate a problem. The chart was created from readings on one KPA100 which was working properly, but that KPA100 may not have been exactly typical (meaning component tolerances were not checked for mid-tolerance values), so some variation is expected and is not an indication of a problem.

The oscillation possibility is an 'educated guess', so do change C31 and then if a problem persists, we can offer additional assistance if you give us data and your observations/conditions.

Dear Don
Many thanks for your prompt reply and information.
C31 in my KPA100 is 0.033 mf, I did not receive it with the upgrade kit and I forgot to change it. I will try to get it from a local supplier, either .22mf, .2 mf or two .1 mf as you suggest. Most voltage diodes readings agree with the new chart, but there are still notable deviations. If you believe that my problem is caused by an oscillation, I will wait until I can substitute C31. If you suspect any other reason, I will send the voltages chart again in a more intelligible way.
Many thanks again, I hope to have soon my K2/100  working again.
