Ok.... this is revealing. This would appear that your transformer is bad. The AC through the transformer should certainly give you output voltage on the secondary...
Just to verify... you are measuring the output of the transformer... NOT the board?
The shaper looks good since you have AC on the inputs. You show 0v outputs. From this doc, it appears you may have found your problem. Your transformer looks bad.
I'll add this in there as well: http://www.electronicrepairguide.com/testing-transformer.html
Under Number 1 - "Switch on the equipment and measure the input and output voltage of the transformer with either an analog or digital meter. If there are no voltage or lower voltage then it suppose to be, the transformer need replacement. I personally liked this method because you are testing the transformer under full operating voltage which is very accurate. "
Guys, this power supply is generating the proper voltages. He is getting his 3.3, 8ish and 15.
I suspect it’s a idiosyncrasie of the meter. I bet a scope will show you what is at the secondary leads better. When I am back at my bench I will get some scope plots and show them here.
My Dmm shows 0V as well. The scope says otherwise. So look past the diodes for the output of the converter. You’ll notice that from each non-RTN transformer pin there is a trace that connects the rectifier diode. Look at the cathodes of those diodes for the positive outputs.
Thanks gruv2ths. That makes me feel better about those voltages. I received the new STA508 last week and planning on replacing it this week. After I replace it, I will try powering on the amp again and cross my fingers.
