Paul Sharp is an unknown quantity at this point
Well, plugged in the servo electronics and it promptly blew the breaker, twice. So took stuff back out and came back to the bench. Found a couple of fried resistors (they might have caused the problem originally, although can't tell). Getting some new transistors (expensive fuses....).

Noted that the turn coordinator isn't working. Don't know if it's related to the servo not being connected or not. Mine does seem to be a little different since the O.E. List says something to the effet that the A/P is interconnected with the gyro and etc. Also I suppose there is supposed to be a breaker for the turn gyro but I couldn't find one (other than the A/P breaker as mentioned above) that was blown. Could it have one inline or something? Or is it possible gone south?

Sigh.... This might turn out to be an expensive project.
