orion XTR 900/2

i cant understand where my power is going i cant find it anywhere.

i have 12v on the center leg of the power supply and 12v on the torridial transformer. i also have 12v on the first leg of Q44. and the 3rd leg of Q45.

other than this i cant find < .5v anywhere else and i cant see anything else burnt any ideas?

i have 2 big caps that are 3300uF 35v and when i put my ESR meter on them they start super high around 4 and over ~1 min it drops to .07. is this normal? what does this mean?

also i replaced the transistors in the blue boxes

any output from the 494?

Post the DC voltage on the 494.

[scampo77]

all legs are 0v

[Perry Babin]

What is the DC voltage on the thermal switch on the bottom of the board?

[scampo77]

its battery voltage on both sides ~13v

[Perry Babin]

There is an MPSA56 with its collector connected to pin 12. Post the DC voltage on all 3 legs.

[scampo77]

its Q44

E - 13V
B - 13V
C - 0V

and i just changed this one a hour ago

[Perry Babin]

There's an MPSA06 connected to the base of the A56. Post the voltage on it.

[scampo77]

the A56 at location Q44 is attached to a black strip thing with 8 pins on it that i have never seen before and i dont know what it is. the base (the middle leg) is attached to this thing. i tried to draw lines showing where everything goes to

MPSA06 location Q45

E - 0
B - 0
C - 13v

i just want to make sure that according to my picture that the emitter is on the left the base in the middle and the collector is on the right
