Quindi proverò a rispondere allegando alcune immagini, il 4n35 è su uno zoccolo da cui sono stati rimossi due pin e ho controllato di nuovo ed è inserito e posizionato come quello nel mio J2 funzionante (ma senza zoccolo), le schede sono di Jeff Young (gerber) e l'alimentatore sarà come quello nel J2 funzionante.

So I'll try to answer by attaching some images, the 4n35 is on a socket from which two pins have been removed and I checked again and it is inserted and positioned like the one in my working J2 (but without a socket), the boards are from Jeff Young (gerber) and the power supply will be like the one in the working J2.

the boards are from Jeff Young

Nature of things, I believe it's completely normal to take all these questions to thread where that project is presented

anyhow, what you need to measure and present is:

  • confirmation that there is no short between outputs and heatsink
  • confirmation of rail voltages
  • voltages across fat resistors in output stage (R7, R8, R10)
  • voltage across P1 and note of its setting ( maxed or not)
  • DC Offset voltage

while measuring everything, work at one channel at time (second disconnected from PSU), inputs shorted to GND, no load at output
