Thank You Paul for quick Answer .

I try to test as You suggest again all the Power Supply Voltages and especially the Grounds ,

I'm looking for the ADV 0804 just in  case ! I think to recalibrate the ZERO with the Microvolt meter again.

I never used a  scope  in my poor electronics experience .I'll ask how to, to my friend HAM radio.

Grazie !!!!

Ciao Paul.

For some reason Google Docs won't let me view those images.

If the output jacks are wired improperly, that could make the audio output
not work, but it couldn't prevent the calibration from turning on the MASTER
LED.

I think this problem cannot be solved without directly examining the
instrument with a scope.
