+5 V is low or missing.

No +5 V on a System 7 power supply

Cause: Bridge BR1, regulator chip IC1 (723PC) or pass transistor Q5 (2N6057).

Checks

  • Test BR1 on diode test (its + lug points a different way from the others; - is diagonal to it).
  • Check IC1 and Q5.

Fix

  • Replace the failed part; replace Q5 with the easier to find 2N6059.
