[1000mp] MY FT-1000MP JUST WENT DEAD

[RADIO SM5LBR]

My MP is from around 1996. I have equipped it with the Inrad roofing filter
and it has done a very good job over the years, although it has been mostly
switched off during the last 10 years.
Listened to the contest today and it suddenly went dead. First it switched
off and on by itself a few times and then it went black. Could hear a slight
bump in the speaker and then nothing. Checked the mains fuse,
but it's ok. What I haven´t done yet is supplying it directly with 12 Volts,
since it could be the built-in power supply. Even though I'm waiting for a
new radio, I really don't feel getting rid of it yet.
Anybody has an idea?
