Are there stickers on the back of the cases that say the voltage and fuse type? It's possible that this PSU was converted to 115 after production, and the sticker may reflect that. It's easy to convert back and forth, you just need to change a few solder bridges and the fuse. Are

It's not for sure that this is the reason for your problems. So I'd recommend just to try it out, i.e. connect the GND of the A-100LC3 temporarily (e.g. the GND blade terminal on the A-100 bus board) to GND of the other devices included in the signal path. If you use an A-100LC6

Yes, two of the opamps of the TLC274 are the input buffers. You may try it out but from my point of view it would be more reasonable to add an offset circuit (trimming potentiometer + resistor) than to try out to find another opamp with a different offset. Best wishes Dieter Doep
