[TenTec] Circuit breaker tripping excessively

[OTAKEBI at aol.com]

Sounds like the reply I expected from TT.
You will find it without TT help.
Check all the cheap stuff first before going to the finals.
Check voltages etc.
Just take your time what's broken can't be further broken so take your time  
and have fun fixing it.
If you can't find it look for someone at your local club. 
They might be able to hook you up with someone who can diagnose it for you  
and you can do the repair yourself.
Last choice is to ship it to TT especially this time of the year.
Lots of shipping damage this time of year.
Best wait for after Christmas anyway so dig in.
Let us know if you find the problem.
The only reason that supply is tripping is because.
1) Check coax for shorts also check coax connectors.
2) The supplies breaker is faulty. Check the breaker.
3) The supply is faulty. Check the supply under load.
4) Check ALC circuit and diodes.
5) Check the finale PA board for bad solder and bad connections.
6) Check driver board for same also check setting of bias etc,
7) Check for bad finals.
Good luck,
