Hi Guys,
A snip from Bob at sounddoctorin.com

Anyway it's a switcher...has ac through a choke to a rectifier that charges
up the 200V electro. Make sure it has something like 160V on it
first.
Then check inputs of IC1 and IC2, the voltage regulators (pin 1 on ic1 and
pin 3 on ic2)
If nothing there then it's a problem with either the switching transistors, the transformer (test continuity from pin 1 to 2... then 3 to 4, then 5 to 6, then 7 to 8 to 9 (8 is Center tap). Coil 5/6 should be putting out 5V across the caps it's connected to while the regulators are supplying plus and minus 15V. So their ins will be around 20V or so.

There may be a circuit on the way, I'll let you
know.
