HP 5061-3476: Which boards go where

[Chris Zach]

Ah ok. So that first transistor on Q6 serves as a chopper to double the 
DC voltage up to 360v when using 120. When you reconfigure the jumpers 
for 240 you basically bypass that thing.

I have 240 in my shed so I'll start by seeing if there is 360v on the 
input rail. If not then I'll re-jumper to 240 and see if it appears 
then. Then trace everything forward from there....
