I have pix - and tried to keep everything as tidy as possible as this set joins my fleet
- Rectifier voltage and power appear good and normal.
- No 'janky' solder connections or damage found in set.
- Valves were all TV-7 tested (calibrated tester).
- Voltage on resistor appears to be around 170VDC.
- Resistors I replaced were able to be identified 100% and validated the values.
The SX-17 is not most complex I have worked on (more than 20 SX-28/28As in the last 60 days) but this issue is not clicking with me on what's wrong. This set will be one that I will most cherish as it has some history and I have a nice PM-23 ('h' series) for it. My father has a SX-16 I restored and it is an amazing set. He listens to it every day and for hours per day. This set is preemptively part of my estate
