Default Re: Troubleshooting Philips BX 526A.

hello rob. thanks for the reply. when i got the radio both wires of s23 were shunted, and everything was connected to that spot. and it made sound like that. i am curious because on the schematic it seems that s23 is shunted also, which is a bit strange, its hard to see but it seems so, i even made a jpg of that area on the post. the way i burned s23 is what you described, i shorted the screened wire. i realized that ( a bit to late ). i am going to replace c32 as you advise. ( its not connected atm ). i replaced c33, seemed to be leaky. should i use another xformer or rewind s23, tedious but doable. if you have time, take a look at the schematic and see what you think about s23 being shunted.
many thanks, will keep you posted.
