Yeah I fairly certain lightning was the cause since both amps fried exactly the same way...there is no fuses on the boards at all, only one that is in a slide out on the ac power input and they were blown on both amps...Idk that much about it but I just figured by the severity of it all, the fact they both are fried the same way, and the input fuses blown,...that lighting may have hit and perhaps enough current passed through in the split second it took the fuses to blow, and that caused the frying of the boards.
Like I said, Idk too much, learning more daily, but I researched more last night about testing the transformer and I believe they are just fine.
There are 7 input wires (in order counterclockwise...red, red, blk, blk, blue, brwn, brwn) and 8 output wires (or, or, y, blk, y, red, white, red)
With the info I gathered on this, I tested resistance of each winding and got this...
I have 0.3 ohms from input side on red to red, blk to blk, and brwn to brwn.
I have 1.3 ohms from red to blk and blue to brwn.
On output I have 0.5 ohms or to or and reds to white, 0.6 from red to red, 0.7 from yellows to blk, 1.2 from y to y.
Checked for continuity between all windings and there were no shorts.
Granted my dmm is nothing fancy and may not be dead accurate but from my understanding...the windings all read what they should and nothing seemed outta the ordinary.
I removed the metal plate on top to look it over and it looks brand new, even the plastic wrapped around it is mint.
Is there anything else I should look for to make sure they are good? I don't want to sell them on ebay if there is a chance they are faulty?
