Elmo 16-AL exciter lamp INOP

[Brenden Lean]

Hello, I could really use some help here. My exciter lamp in the 16-AL is not working. Zero voltage to the socket. I’ve checked/replaced the bulb, fuses, and bridge rectifier. What else could it be? Thank you!!

General procedure to tackle the issue, is to investigate from both ends of the chain, then work towards each other till you found the cause.

In this case if the socket end is totally dead, how about the transformer end? Any readings there?

If you have replaced the bridge rectifier is there any AC going into it would be my first step. Not overly familiar with the 16AL but do have a 16CL which maybe similar.
