[Elecraft] KPA 500

[Ezra Carmel]

Hello.

During operation with a high SWR and low power I heard a strong bang and the
KPA500 shut off.

I have opened the upper panel and found  2 ceramic caps of VRF2933. The
inner side of the plastic cover is blackened

Looks that the power supply is working I read 74.6 volt on the voltage
display on the LCD.

Have written to support  but did not receive any answer.

Is it enough to replace the 2 X VRF2933.

Is someone aware  of a procedure of reaching the finals?
