Subject: VECTOR: Omega Race repair

> Today I thought it was time I fixed my Omega Race, I have a few spare boards for it, most with some acid damaged. I found one that was fairly clean and replaced the 2 ram sockets near the battery. On power up the + and - 15v regulators were getting too hot to touch, I checked between the 2 and had a reading of 35 ohms between the-15 and 15v lines. I suspected one of the Op amps or a DAC was to blame. After pulling 3 of the 4 Op amps I found the bad one,

couldnt you find the bad one by burning your finger on it?
that works pretty good with dram a lot of the time.
