Your time is far more valualable than the cost of $10.00(U.S.) worth of semi's and caps. Do the same thing to the controller board while you're at it, they can be quite troublesome....should cost about the same to rebuild it. The drawings are here in the manuals section......look at pages 9, 10, 11.

I really, really, really need some sort of drawing of the ORC 1000B Triac Board. I have just been given 3 orc 1000's to repair, all had shorted triacs, unfortunatily the replacement for the 2n5444 is an NTE5693 and it don't work. A lot of the components are so old they don't have any identification on them so gang replacing is a poor option. Any help will be appreciated.  |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 01-22-2013 02:12 PM                     If you had taken a moment to read the posts you would have found the answer. quote: Mark Gulbrandsen .....The drawings are here in the manuals section......look at pages 9, 10, 11.

What is left is a standard rectifier. Louis  |  IP: Logged William Mayhugh Film Handler Posts: 5 From: Davenport, FL, USA Registered: Dec 2012 posted 01-24-2013 01:47 PM                     Wow! First post and flamed already. I thought this was a friendly and helpful forum. Well Tony, concidering I did look thru the forums and I did look in the ORC 1000 manual and still didn't find what I was looking for BEFORE I poste; and since you are so smart, maybe you can tell me which manual, since the ORC manual only has the SCR board. Louis, would you mind being a little less cryptic in your answer? How does discarding the TRIAC board help me fix the problem?  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 01-24-2013 06:06 PM                        I have NOT tried this. Someone once mentioned that the power supply would function without the boards since there is a full transformer, diode bridge and capacitors (just like in any rectifier). I did once look at the drawings to see that they were right. I cannot verify if you can CONTROL same.

Look again. I already gave you the answer (actually Mark G did 9+years ago.) It is there so before you go getting your panties in a bunch READ the freakin manual!! The COMPLETE schematics are there. However, in the interest of being fair, I will offer up this hint: according to the schematics, 2N5444 is NOT used on either board, so part of the problem you are facing is someone's previous attempt at a repair using the wrong part. Sounds like you have your work cut out for you.  |  IP: Logged Bernie Anderson Jr Master Film Handler Posts: 435 From: Woodbridge, New Jersey Registered: Apr 2000 posted 01-24-2013 09:58 PM                        I would just rebuild them too, like Mark suggested. I did my 2 units. I think the caps cost about $20 and it took about an hour going slow to remove the old caps and solder the new ones in place. Did this on both boards and they're good as new. Best of luck Bernie  |  IP: Logged William Mayhugh Film Handler Posts: 5 From: Davenport, FL, USA Registered: Dec 2012 posted 01-27-2013 08:22 AM                     Tony, I did read the FRICKEN manualS (large S because I looked in ALL of them) and not a single one had the triac board. SCR board Yes...Triac board NO. And yes, maybe Mike G did give the answer, but it didn't say which specific manual and the "drawings are here in the manuals section......look at pages 9, 10, 11" don't match any of the page number formats in any of the ORC manuals. So, appearentily, you seem to have the information I need and instead of saying something like " Check out so and so manual, It's on page yada yada", you prefer being a dick and flaming me. But since I need that information, and no one else on the forum seems to know, I will humble myself, even prostrate myself at your feet and ask Preeety Please Tony, Sir, could you please direct me to the exact manual I need to look in for the triac board? I am soooo sorry I am an idiot and even dare ask you for your time, but If you would please grant me this boon, I will shout your name to the heavens!  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 01-27-2013 09:45 AM                        I believe (from memory) that the scr and triac boards are almost the same except for the actual scr. Compare your board to the scr drawings. The triac was before the scr which was somewhat better. Better yet, just replace all capacitors and triacs and diodes using the info on the board components.
