Sorry for the delay... life happened.

So, I was able to test 1REC with a bulb and power supply and it works fine as far as I can tell (switches on and stays on with a momentary positive voltage to the gate).


3 & 4 REC are questionable. Maybe you can tell me. Here's what I did:

* I removed the flexible ends of both and isolated them.

* I left both REC 3 & 4 mounted to the plate. It seems to be common between the two.

* I clipped one end of my digital multimeter on the flexible end and put my other probe on the base plate they are mounted to.

* On the diode closest to REC1, I read 5 Megohms one way and 1 Megohm when I switch the leads.

* On the diode closest to the edge of the SCR panel, I read 1.5 Megohms one way and O/L when I switch the leads.


I still have to check 5REC and 2REC but those diode readings might be telling.

What do you think?

Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
