[TenTec] Proper TenTec 960 power Supply Schematic

[Radio AI2Q]

Hi DJ,

I suggest you use your ohmmeter (preferably a COM)  to check the 
junctions of the bipolar transistors in the regulator circuit. Check 
devices from base to collector and base to emitter. Your readings should 
be low forward and high in reverse. You'll need to use a meter that 
provides a volt or so on its test leads in the ohmmeter position. Check 
from emitter to collectors, too. That should reveal any shorts. If 
likely good your readings should be high both ways. Do the same tests on 
the diodes, even the Zener diodes.

Needless to say, be sure the supply is off and the filter caps are 
discharged before making these tests.
