AC box is off an 002. I know the circuit breaker is different, as well as the number of loops through the CVT but I also notice the schematic in the 003 TM shows the ac outlet being wired right to the AC select switch, but the schematic plate on top of the 002 shows the wires going to TB2...

Well, a bit of good news tonight. Just swapped out the AC box and everything seems to be back to normal. Voltages are all correct and no stinky smoke pouring out anywhere anymore. Looking closer at the original AC box, it looks like all the heavy AC wires in the thing are discolored. Instead of...

Status update: Last night was an interesting time, I taped up the mouse-damaged wires in the AC reconnect box and went ahead with the initial start-up. This set has been sitting for well over 25 years.... with the notorious PSU pump in it! Cranked it up and she fired up almost immediately...

Ok, so I will begin by starting the machine and seeing what happens, keeping an eye on A4 and the generator output. Then I will disconnect #17 off the regulator, isolate it and see the result. Thanks for the guidance!

Turns out the exciter coil is good. 34.6 ohms. Last night outside in the dark I apparently put the DMM on the diode setting, which is right next to the 200 ohm setting! But when measuring correctly, both at the plug on the back of the AC reconnect box and TB3-5/6 both yield 34.6 ohms. So it...

Got it Peter, I know what to do next. I will give another update as soon as I have another change to look at it.

After checking a known good 002, either I'm measuring it wrong, or the DMM Vs. wheatstone bridge measurements are completely different. I also got .062 ohms when checking another gen, so perhaps I'm doing something wrong with my measurement. I do have a few other machines I can check as well as...

Thanks Peter. I took the plug off the back of the AC reconnect box and it appears the exciter stator winding is about .065 ohms. Looking at the TM I believe they are looking for 3.6 ohms +/- 10% using a wheatstone bridge. Assuming the wheatstone is similar to a DMM I think I need to dig...

Hello folks, I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with a burnt R1 resistor on the A4 bridge rectifier board in an 002 / 003? I recently picked up another nice 002 from a nearby estate auction, on a tip from another SS member. The owner told me he acquired it while stationed at Ft...
