Hi John:
I import a Russian made ESR meter that also reads Capacitance in circuit and have used it to make a number of what would
have been impossible repairs including my kitchen wall mounted electric oven and the Heathkit GC1000 WWVB clock.

My SRS SR-620 counter died last weekend. After superficial troubleshooting, it looks like there's probably a short on
one of the power supply rails. Symptom is that nothing lights up when power is turned on, but one or more of the
three terminal regulators gets very, very hot (can't tell which one since they're all bolted to the side rail as heat
sink). The unit had been running continuously for several weeks when the failure occurred.
I just learned from SRS that they charge a flat rate 25% of the current list price for repairs! (To be fair, if
you're the original purchaser, it's only 20%.) The SR620 currently lists for about $5K, so we're talking about a
mighty expensive shorted cap (if that's what it is)!
Anyway, has anyone here troubleshot an SR-620 with a problem like this, or have any general insights about working on
one of these beasts?
Thanks,
John
