I recently picked up a Philips PCS 2000 from a camera shop, and it only partly works.

I calibrated the voltage to the bulbs as per the service manual, but when I try to switch the enlarger between Standby, Adjust, and Focus modes, the bulbs don't respond. Plus when I flick it between Positive and Negative modes, it blows the bulbs. The former is the bigger problem since I don't plan on scrounging for Cibachrome paper anytime soon, but looking at the controller board nothing's sticking out to me as bad.

Any ideas what I should try?
