Subject: [Repeater-Builder] GE Voter Lamps Don't Work

  

Hey folks,

I just got an old gray GE voter working with a half dozen Midlands. The
system is voting ok, but none of the lamps work. I mean NONE of them work.
The receiving, the voted and the fail lamps are all DEAD on all cards. I
find it hard to believe that all have completely blown (but stranger things
have happened). Any idea what could take them all out? Loss of a voltage
across all cards?

Thanks,

Jared

The docs for both the black front and the grey front
voters can be downloaded as PDF files from
www.repeater-builder.com
Look for the LBI page off of the GE page.

It's been over 8 years since I touched a grey voter,
but I think they run the lamps off of a separate
voltage buss than the audio circuitry and there
MAY be a separate lamp fuse.
Download the LBI and look at the power supply card
schematic and the backplane schematic.
