Should I just replace Q5 and D18 or what? Seems odd
that they would 
fail after several years. Any ideas appreciated.

I have K1 # 1423, I also had a failure of output. I
replaced Q5 and D19 (Rev F).
Later I found Q5 was good and only the diode was
shorted.

I have added a polyfuse to the K1.
Info at http:tyrrell.us/amateur/
link is listed as "poly fuse mod".

Hope this helps.
