[1000mp] VFO problem

[Patrick P]

  Tonight my FT-1000MP had its first failure.  Upon powering on the radio, the VFO tuned itself down to 100kHz no matter where I was tuned to.  Once there, I can turn the VFO to tune upwards but as soon as I stop, it returns back again.  I can change bands and it will immediately start its descent to 100kHz regardless of band.  Transmitting will temporarily halt this progression but as soon as it’s back to RX, down it goes again.
  I did find a single mention of this issue on the internet, at mods.dk and he said it was a voltage regulator on the CNTL-1 board, Q5056.  Has anyone else experienced this issue and if so, were the conclusions similar or different?

Thank you.
