Another 2517 low receive issue

The picure contradicts what was written in post 45 though. In the post you said pin 10 is closest to the 8v regulator and pin 1 closest to the passthrough regulator, in the picture, it looks like you labeled the pin closest to the 8v regulator as pin1 and the pin closest to the passthrough as pin 10. The picture is the correct way.

yeah your picture is correct but everything you posted sounds like you lifted pin 10 off the board instead of pin 1.


also, the chip should be installed with the label facing the chassis wall.
any chance it got put in backwards?

Pin 10 lifted:
Pin 10 pad shows 0v
Pin 10 lead (lifted) shows 10v

All other pins still show the same as with pin 10 lead soldered.

Shouldn't pin 10 lead (when lifted) be slightly less than pin 1? If the lifted pin 10 lead shows 10v, then wouldn't that mean the 7222 isn't amplifying?
 
Backwards. Pin 1 is towards the front of the radio, closest to the MB3756. The voltage on the real pin 10, nearest the rear panel, is coming out of the chip pin onto the foil pad. The pad should show zero with the pin lifted.

Yeah, pin 10 reads a little low, but color me skeptical.

A 'scope is the only way I learned to make sense of missing or messed-up audio signals. A meter only tells you in an indirect way what's going on. Your meter suggests the 7222 is okay.

Maybe. But seeing the audio on both sides of that output capacitor C179 would settle that question.
