You are rocking! It never hurts to resolder any TB's on a card when having problems. Can't you make a bridge rectifier? If only the + side diodes are bad, you might just try and solder in two replacements.

In the 20 years of my army career, and 8 years as a contractor, I never once saw a 016B actually running. Every one I saw was in a corner, non-op. Tank bone dry. The 016A, 016C and 016D all seemed to have better Karma. Oh well, keep working on it and you will get it up on its feet.

I uploaded the TM's for the MEP-016B in the TM upload section today. Schematics are in the -12 manual. Not sure the A3 board is broken out, but there should be enough there to work it out. If ever a gen set was unbeloved, the 016B was king of the hill.
