Quoted from pintime:I am looking at wiring diagram for black hole ,8 vac comes from transformer goes through fuse F5 then trough bridge rectifier if the bridge rectifier is bad it will crete short and blow fuse .The driver board usually is not a issue since it only controls path to ground and if your blowing fuse your short is on power side
Yes, the original bridge rectifiers in the SYS 80’s were problematic and should be replaced. Plus there was a ground issue with these necessitating a ground mod procedure, I don’t have details.
