While home today I decided to put a recent flea mall find on the bench and have a go at it.
This is an old heathkit IG-11271 function gen. After a few moments I was able to determine what the fault was, but finding a shorted component can be a choir sometimes. To aid in finding the short I used a 1.5 volt battery as a constant load to trace out the circuit until the problem area was found. Once this was done it was simple to find the bad component.
BTW I am no professional video blogger and this head cold does not help.
