Default AMI F-120

Just bought this ami f-120. ac side is okay. seems as though I don't have any control power. took the junction box off after I checked the fuses. there is a black lead and a yellow lead hooked to the rectifier. When I put my black lead to the black wire and red lead from the meter to the yellow wire I get 76 volts. when I put the red wire on the 8/10 fuse holders it shows momemtarially 16 volts then immeditally goes to -1. same on both sides of holder. am I testing it right and if so does it mean my rectifier is bad. its still the same old rectifier it came out with. thanks for any help. norm

Norm, here is the schematic for the F. As you can see, the output from the transformer goes right to a bridge rect. The output should be approx 28 volts Dc

Check to be sure you are using the correct common point for ground return on your meter and correct scale. It looks like the low-Dc supply floats above chassis ( I may be missing the tie point) so measure across the rect out (DC) terminals.

It is a good idea to replace these old selenium units. A new silicon bridge will sag less and help speed up the old motors. I used typical 25amp 100volt (or more) bridge packages.
