Default Re: AVO 8SX? + Service manual?

1. Leaf switches blackened, worn or gone out of adjustment? This has been covered recently so a quick search back through this part of the forum will show some guidance.

2. I was surprised to learn (that on a MODEL 7 at least) that a fault in the transformer can disable ALL the AC ranges, not just the AC Current. I wonder if Model 8 derivatives are similar.

3. Check that the cam rotors on the rear of the rotary switches haven't come loose. Hope it's not this as one of them is inaccessible- the transformer is in the way.

4. Rectifier may be leaky or corroded.

5. Dry joint/s?
