eastside,
does your washington have a VR in it near the rear right corner of the board?
it will me in a place that looks like it was meant for a transformer to go in.
if so, this is your AMC control. if you have already disabled R104, then it probably wont have any effect.
just a thought.
also, do you know why the fuse blew in your DMM?
just thought id throw this in so it doesnt happen to you again.
when reading VOLTAGE, you connect the probes "in parallel" with the circuit under test.
this means that positive goes to the trace you want to read voltage on, and negative goes to PC board ground.
im sure everyone already knows that.
BUT!
when reading current, you need to put the probes "in series" with the line you want to measure the current on.
this means that the line must be pulled, and one end connected to positive, and the other end connected to negative.
if you ever have the DMM set to read current (A, mA etc...) and you put the leads "in parallel" with a line that has voltage on it, you will immediately blow the fuse in the meter.
thank goodness for it too, because if it wasnt there, you could really let the smoke out of the radio and the meter depending on where you put the leads.
