Folks, I finally worked out my chassis power problem and it was indeed an overtaxed power supply. This is an old RS-15 chassis and it appears that the power supply maxes out at 500ma. It would take varying amounts of time for the -12V rail to collapse depending on the modules in the system. I finally got a working config by removing an RS-360 and RS-390 and replacing them with lower power modules. These modules require > 150ma each so that was using up most of my power budget. I guess the word to the wise with the old chassis is to avoid any modules with > 100ma power draw. The chassis will work fine with lots of VCAs and signal mixers (8ma & 5ma, respectively)... Eric
