[Elecraft] KPA1500 power supply gone south

[Hisashi T Fujinaka]

Mine just died back in March. There's an HV problem that several people
have had in some of the earlier amps, and I was asking if that's what it
was in direct email.

Elecraft can fix it easily, but customer service was oddly rude to me
(my email was stuck in their spam filter and they chastised me on the
phone for not answering Eric before they realized that I did reply) and
also made me swap cables and take the covers off and measure the HV line
instead of just sending it in.
