Happy New Year. Sorry for rejuvenating an old thread but it was the closest i could find to the issue i am having.
I have a Pennsy M-1A 6-38056 that won't smoke. The board was looked quite burnt and the sleeve was burned to the resistor. When i removed the board the capacitor fell off and one end of the resistor was loose - the board got so hot that it melted the solder. I replaced the board and still no smoke.
digging a little deeper i found the pictured component that looks like it has gotten very hot. I'm guessing this is the voltage regulator discussed above. from Lionel's support page i assume this is AC Reg Board cs-691ACRGE01-p which is marked as obsolete and unavailable.
Is this picture the voltage regulator that is being discussed above and if so, is there a new part number or an acceptable replacement part?
Thank You
