Thanks for the offer to look at it yourself. Your opinions and tech
talk on this group are always good stuff. First I'll find more time to
go back in and see what I see. Crap....It's just an EQ! Ha!

Thanks for the compliment, but I _am_ wrong sometimes. My strength is that I
try to look at things in terms of basic principles, something I don't see
many other people here doing.

Regardless...

If the voltages are OK, the next step is to put a 'scope on it and track the
signal. You could do this with an AC voltmeter, of course, but it's easier
if you can "see" the signal.

When you finally fix the problem, you'll feel very pleased with yourself.

Good luck!
