Jim, Here are two pictures for some reference: http://repeater-builder.com/motorola/msf/tour/pics/under_rf_tray.jpg http://repeater-builder.com/motorola/msf/tour/pics/under_control_tray.jpg
Also, when you flip open the control tray, make sure the blue ribbon cable is plugged in and secure as well as the smaller 5pin power connector that I think you may have seen all ready at J701. From there, you might want to look at all the fuses on the board.

I was shipped the power supply, the pa and the rf deck with controller. Before shipping the seller removed a secure board because hams do not usually need them and we dont. I reasembled the unit in a 4' GE cabinet and connected all the cables that were sent to me as best as i could figure out without any instructions. When i plug the station in the 12 vdc cooling fans come on but the control deck is dead. I found 1 cable that came from the power supply and plugged it into a jack on the rear of the rf deck and another cable that went to the pa from the rf deck. I also found and connected the rf cables as needed. There are still some left over connecter pins on the pc board at the rear of the rf deck that I do not know what is supposed to be connected to. Inside the control deck I see what looks like a 5 pin connector coming from the rf deck and it does contain 13.2 vdc on the red and black wires. Something must be missing causing the controler not to light up at all. Cam anyone supply me a interconnect diagram so I can see if i have a missing cable.
