fix repair ebay find SG382 SRS rf signal generator and SG385 power supply

SG382 DC-2.025Ghz Stanford Research Systems

symptoms no 10Mhz at the rear output
front panel not responding
photos taken at later date but 
when i opened it for the first time it was covered
with heavy layer of soot black residue 
no scheme but there is the circuit description
which for this case was just enough
some pictures of the boards






the rear 10Mhz was fixed after replacing a faulty resistor 
R101 4.99kohm on the main motherboard
didnt have smd so i used a regular size instead 
but as long as it fixed the problem i was happy with it


the front panel was fixed after a short reflow of the spi ic's (U308, U309)






during the repair process i also accidentally shorted something
on the dc dc power supply SG385 (15V, 5V, 3.3V, -5V, -15V)
after some probing seeing half the expected voltages 
which was strange i traced the problem to LM358
which was shorting it was for the temp control 
also replaced the fan which looked tired
