[1000mp] Replacing 13.8V fuse in Mark V?

[1000mp@mailman.qth.net]

Sell the rig on ebay and buy a new one!

 You have to detach the whole finned heat sink to see the fuse which is
mounted on the top surface of the bottom of the rig.

The hard part is putting back in the 2 screws which hold down the right
side of the heat sink. First the sink has to be correctly seated with the
several wires and harnesses moved out of the way, then the 2 screws that
mount it have to be guided blind about 1.5 inches into the rig thru very
small apertures where the screws want to fall off and get lost in the
interior of the rig, necessitating taking the whole thing apart again.
The only way I could find to get the screws back in was to temporarily glue
them to the phillips screwdriver with silicone caulk, and then very very
carefully probe for the screw hole threads.

Not user friendly.
