I was measuring resistance and found on the board that works
R5=R6 =16k measured across each in circuit and
on the board that doesn't R5=R6 =100k
????
Thanks
tomorrow evening I'll be at home , capable to see all those funny schematics ...
😉
Measured again D-S for Q6 and Q8
Good board .55V
Bad board .38V
Q10 is the same for both boards .55V
Resistance for both boards is in the*Mohm range for neg rail to ground
R5 R6 100k for the bad board and 16.6k for good board
Thanks again for all the help and of course a big thanks to Nelson and the gang for supporting DIY

i received my components (except heatsink....) last week.
i hope to start to populate the Shunty PCB next w-e and to solder all the parts on Pumpkin. 🙂

Me very bad !!!
The difference in resistance measurements that I mentioned across R5, R6 is because I forgot to remove shorts from pos inp to gnd and neg input to ground when I was doing DC setup Sorry !!!!!
The neg voltage still drops to 18V when connected to Pumpkin. I have measured all resistors and I have touched all solder points.
I put Q6 and Q8 back in because without them voltage still dropped. I will replace Q10.

No I am stuck. I have pulled all transistors Q1 to Q11 and I still get the negative voltage dropping to -20V
Ideas?
The power supply with the 400 ohm resistor reads -36V
THANKS

I would be forever grateful. I don't see any solder bridges - maybe my eyes even with magnifier are too old.
THANKS!!!
THANKS!!!
Choky will be my guest early next month. Maybe he would like to fix it
personally.
😎
if you say that's arrangeable , I'll be glad to do this

Hi Flocchini,
Have you connect the input volume ? If not, please try connect it and measure again.

I will try this Thank you

Many, many thanks to Nelson and Choky !!!
Nelson knows I live just a short drive away. I will keep looking but really appreciate the offer.
naah .....
just chill and find some other way to enjoy
we'll sort that right after BAF
edit :
even if I'm confused now ; I understood that I'll be dragged to Ocean , and now I see that you're ~100km from Papa's Ark

I'm at the coast right now, but you can give it to Kent (Cyclotronguy) at
Pass Labs as soon as you like.

I am looking to buy a "A" or "D" package since Zen Mod has some problems with his PCB supplier and I am waiting for a very long time already. If anybody has A or D for sale please let me know.
Thanks
Sven
Thanks
Sven
Waiting for my package as well
But problems somewhere else not PCB as I was given reason to believe
Hope it get sorted as realy looking forward to build one .
Yess I know I could make my own PCB but do not think it would be a fair thing to do to Zen.
So I shall be patient for a while longher and waith for my messages / prays to be answered.
