I am new to the forum. My father brought a P.H. Hobbies, Inc. Model PS3 3 amp pure DC Filtered throttle power supply over today and asked if I could take a look at it and possibly fix it.
I have a multimeter, but I am not sure where I should start to diagnose the issue. We were told at a train show that these units often have diode issues, but I have not confirmed anything yet and was hoping to start from the perspective of the sealed unit before drilling out all of the rivets.
Any help you can provide here would be great. I will post results here as I work through the suggestions.
Forgot to mention that when you plug it in the red light does turn on.
Thank you!
