[Elecraft] K3 suddenly dies

[Rick Robinson]

Take a small piece of scotchbrite pad and clean the fuses and holders
if possible and use some deoxit  to the fuse connector and fuses. They can
build up a high resistance oxidation causing severe voltage drop. Then try
the cable on the good supply. If that works then try the reworked cable
with the old supply. Hopefully that is all. I have had this issue with
another brand of rig and got it back up to snuff. Good luck.
