After 12 years, my S-Tec system 30 doesn’t want to come ready.
I have checked the fuses for the AP and TC. The TC flag retracts so I that looks OK. The GPSS interface stays lit and functional. It didn’t grab the stick and clunk for pitch or roll as normal.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ralph,In the past S-Tec was always responsive to customer problems.  
And, they had a lot of long term techs and engineers that really understood the system and knew the answers.
It has gone thru a few leadership changes so things have probably changed.
I would call them and get thru to a field engineering guy or similar.  Drill down until you find a long term employee.
Hopefully, he can enlighten you as to the problem.
When I purchased my -50X system a long time ago, I had initial problems with the guidance part of it.  I was able to find a VP that understood what I was dealing with and made it possible to correct it.  I have not experienced any problems with my AP and knock on wood ....

Thanks – I have the contact number for them – I’ll give them a call next time I’m at the hangar on a weekday!
