Cripes, what a mess this thing is, it's been got at
I fitted the new zeners and resistors and powered it through the lamp limiter - same fault? So I decided on a radical approach, I removed the 4 Mosfets, powered it up but the lamp still glowed and the power rails were still all over the place?
So I took the limiter out of circuit and just used the variac on it's own and wound it up slowly. I reached about 200V when magic smoke rose from the newly fitted R74 (0.33R) the source resistor for Q2 - even though the Mosfet was removed??
So I traced some wire links from R74 across the board to jumper plug J29 - some wires were cut from the plug had been hard wired to the board, but whatever clot did it wired it to a pin that goes straight to ground!
