I have a old marantz 4300 i am trying to resurrect. The outputs are fried with a few other parts. I was checking the transformer voltage which all was fine. I checked resistance and voltage output on secondary taps, all were fine. There are 3 different secondary windings two sets with center taps 1 set of orange leads read .4 ohms when checked to chassis. The yellow set of leads does not. I think and have not checked yet but think center tap on the orange leads are grounded to chasiss. I checked voltage from chasiss to my bench 120vac ground side of plug and got 30vac. took scope and got a sign wave of 10 volts. took amp reading from chasiss to 120vac plug ground shows no amperage. the unit does not have a three prong power cord. The outputs are removed during this test. There is a 3 amp fuse currently in unit and it is not blowing. The unit is suppose to have a 8 amp fuse in it and for testing I am using the 3 amp. I am missing something here.
