Thanks Andy. Was it the HV secondary that shorted?
I isolated the HV secondary from the HV board and it reads open to the frame
and chassis. (Reads about 45 ohms when connected to the board)
Thanks, Joe, K8MP

Joe, I had a similar problem with my Centurion AMP. It eventually failed
completely. The secondary of the power transformer shorted to the frame. I had
the Xformer rewound at TRS. BTW this transformer problem is a known.

Tuesday noontime, Joe:
I have a Centaur..............keep it covered when not in use.
My Elmer told me to always keep it covered..................dust is the
problem.
Even when covered, open it up every two-three years and do a internal
cleaning.

Gents,
Have any of you gone a few rounds with a Centaur amp?
I have a one that blows fuses very intermittently. It vaporizes them both,
simultaneously, so it's apparently a dead-short somewhere. This happens even
in stand-by. (i.e. No key-down)
Before I tear into it, anyone have any ideas of common failures in these
amps?
Later, Joe, K8MP
