[Elecraft] KPA500 Question

[KENT TRIMBLE]

Just because a tech says it's a known failure today doesn't mean it's 
been a known failure throughout its production run.  Component 
availability and sourcing necessarily change over the years.  A robust 
component from a former supplier ten years ago may not be as robust from 
a different supplier today.  There is no way of knowing which components 
exhibit early failures until they fail early.

Consider yourself now an experienced beta-tester!
