So I recapped my 555 today and put her back together. Brought her up and then i see sparks coming from the 2nf IF can. It was only a second when I bumped the chassis and then it stopped so I am a bit confused.
Does this mean that there is a short in the can? I tapped the can again and more sparks. she is unhooked till this is figured out.
Could this be the result of a short? the dial lamps are on but thats it. the tubes are all new and were tested.
Did I screw up the recapping?
Where should I start looking?
Any help is appreciated.
