working with a local non-profit organization in our home town. An
Ampex AVR-1 was donated to them when it was taken out of service from a
local television station several years ago. The machine sat for
several years while this non-profit (an organization called Media Heritage)
prepared their facility. Their facility is now far enough along that
they would like to get this machine
operational.<O:P></O:P></SPAN></FONT></DIV>

background. The machine was working when it was taken out of
service. It has been sitting without power for probably the last 5-6
years. It appears as if the machine was originally wired for a
208-three phase volt power supply, and that is the way it is currently
wired. We’ve been working with the engineer (now retired) who
originally kept this machine in working condition. He knows a
tremendous amount about this machine, and has helped us get to the point
where the machine will power up. However we have run into a road
block, and I hope someone can help.<O:P></O:P></SPAN></FONT></DIV>

powered the machine up, we did not power up the air compressor…we just
wanted to see if the machine itself would run. When we let the machine
powered up for more than a few moments, the circuit breakers in the lower
drawer start to trip. We have tested the power supplies in the lower
drawer and have found a few of them don’t appear to be working (this is
regardless of whether the circuit breaker is open or closed). There
also appears to be a problem with some of the boards in the side cabinets
(which, we believe is causing the circuit breakers to trip). We have
not tried the air compressor yet, but are not overly concerned about it,
because we could use an external compressor if
necessary.<O:P></O:P></SPAN></FONT></DIV>

machine is very clean. We have removed and reseated all the boards and

visually inspected everything to see if there was anything obvious (such as
exposed wires) and see nothing out of the ordinary. I did not record
which circuit breakers trip, or which power supplies appear to not be
working. I could get this information if it would help anyone diagnose
the problem. What we don’t want to do is get into a situation where we
are replacing the hundreds of caps in the machine to try to figure out the
problem.<O:P></O:P></SPAN></FONT></DIV>

we are seeking donations (however, we can cover minor expenses, such as
