[Elecraft] K1 Assistance (Power out during transmitter alignment)

I was recently at the transmitter alignment stage, and apparently did not fully understand the procedure.  I did not exit the "TUNE" mode, but kept tweeking the pots for max power.  I melted the grommet, but was getting 6+ watts out up until that time.

Elecraft graciously sent me a new Q7, which I was hoping was the only thing I damaged.  I now do not get any power out when attempting the alignment procedure.  Maybe I damaged other components?  

I do not, or have not built an RF probe, and am kind of new to this electronic testing.

Does anyone have some suggestions so I can again see poer out?  Kind of sitting here stumped at the moment and would appreciate any suggestions to get me moving along.

Thanks, Steve
