Hi Thomas, you might try using a piece of pvc tubing, such as the jacket
off a piece of coax as a make do stethoscope to locate the sound from the
arc.
It might help to remove the filter board from the chassis and connect it
with some extension wires to get it out into the open.
Beware the hv; do be careful!
If this fails, just pack it up along with a $00 bill and send to me; I will
make sure it gets a decent burial.

Thanks much for the responses. I checked everything suggested but no joy.
I even resoldered all connections. The capacitors were put in by a
previous
owner and are supposed to be new. They checked out okay.
The arcing sound is definitely coming from the power supply area but even
in
the dark I can't see the flash of light, bizarre. It's time to sell the
SB-1000 at a bargain price.
