This is the end of an thread about repairing a 343, i managed to get one with a good board, switched them ... i have a good working one now. Switched some frame parts etc... to make a better looking one.
Therefore i have some parts photos
I have the frame parts : sides, front panel, top bottom cover, the power transformer is good, all the dials knobs with the clear digits are good, some insulated shafts. the frame parts have some scuffs / dings and scratchs.
Lots of screws, the 1uf 1500vdc output capacitor is good
The main board has a problem when switching on the kv range, it goes into overload, maybe some good parts to salvage, the 15vdc reference was repaired and was at 15.000v before dismantling it.
I have the multi stage serial " multi transistors " ( on the big black heatsinks ) i have to test them
The front needle meter works fine.
For the moment i'll keep the 2 board with precisions resistors on them.
I wont ask a fortune loll But the x-former is heavy ? around 3 pound.
