GGG
I do get a reading of power at the 7 pin switch. So what does that mean? There are no visible burn marks on the board and no smell either.
Is there a way that the flash can be removed and swapped out? I have another GG-1. 20-5515-1 has a 5V board too. On a whim, I went ahead and installed that board on the failed GG-1 #4877. While the engine did run and the lights worked, you are correct that the pantographs did not work. The smoke unit also did not operate because there was nothing there to tell them to operate.
As you said the flash is unique to the GG-1. My earlier G 20-5515-1 does not have operating pantographs or a smoke unit.
I'm perplexed what to do next.
