Philips FL1.10

An Accountant.

Have you checked the secondary side rectifiers?

Not uncommon on Philips gear!

Will do. Was hoping there might be someone familiar with these and knew the common faults.

Google immediately finds this (which might not be a help)...

Also look at

The last Philips item I fixed was a DVD player, the secondary side rectifier that failed was a 3A leaded part, but holes and screen print were present for an alternative 2-pin TO220 rectifier - I had to guess the best course of action.

I opted for a 3A rectifier with faster Trr than the original rather than a higher current replacement - it didn't bounce.

Thanks - didn't find one of those on my search. Starting from the info on the second one, found the LOP transistor fooked

- a BU 508 - and replaced it. It then came out of standby to the accompaniment of sounds of arcing, smoke and smells. But not sure exactly where from as I powered down immediately. But guess it needs expensive replacements so probably scrap. Sad as it's the Matchline version in a decent looking box.

Check whether it has a disc ceramic flyback tuning cap, they often crack and usually fail S/C - but could be in the early stage of breaking down.

Just to follow up, found the plug/socket at the tube end for the scan coils burnt out internally. Another tip from that site. Did a bodge repair on that PCB and soldered the ribbons in direct - and it's working fine. (I'd guess a 'proper' repair would mean a new tube. ;-))

Is the file available anywhere else?

Clicking the link seems to alternate between high number of people downloading - try again in 2 minutes, or "you have to be a premium user to download this file".

Thanks.

Bit late since it's sorted but thanks. I already have the service manual anyway. But what service manuals never give is the common faults - hence the post.
