Your doing great guys.... almost there...

Can i make a joke?...


Is this not a bit off topic???

Nothing is off topic in an asylum.

  beboszek:
  Thank you for the information.
   Have you been able to find the proper interaction between the grenade and the Kacher circuits, to obtain self running?

Not yet

  Hoppy:
   I've now have replaced the rectifier on the PS, and also placed a 50w bulb in series with the grid source. No light at the bulb, so I placed a 10w 120v bulb on, and still no light at the smaller bulb.
   Seam like the series bulb placement is not working, for some reason. I have not tried to directly connect the AC to the PS, yet. Any ideas?

Hi Nick no light I would expect to see  10watt bulb bright up then die to very little and then pulse, does the caps charge up or not ?
some where in the input circuit is an NTC to limit input flow its around there your problem is , is the PCB track all good, remember proportions and safety.
Any way whats the next thrilling installment ?

Colour has gone quiet ! careful you don't wake him!

Yes, Nick should also check that the black NTC adjacent to the brown fuse is not open circuit.

   Hoppy:
  The NTC is ok.
  Just trying to find a fuse to replace the small T5A brown one that burnt out.
  I'll know more later today. What tripped me up, was that there was still some voltage at the caps, and at the mosfet, even with a partially blown fuse. That's why I thought that the fuse was ok, but it wasn't.
  I wish that the T5A had blown before it messed up the caps, and who knows what else.
But, I saw a spark under that fuse, (it totally blew afterwards). But, that happened after I had replaced the caps, and not before the damage. That fuse was too slow, (it's a slow T-type of fuse).
Probably needs an quicker F fuse, instead.

  Sorry apecore for the off topic discussions. But, you'll probably see that once you connect up a feed back circuit, that fixing a burnt PS, won't be off topic at all. Dally went through a couple of burnt up PS, before finding one that worked.
  I think that a 110v- 220v PS is what's needed. And NOT the 110v PS, like the one I'm using now. Live and learn...
