Gerry,

Well assuming it works on the other 10M band segments, a logical place 
to start would be those crystals that generate those specific band 
segments. The older rigs split 10M into 4 500 KHz segments, so each 
segment has its own crystal, if not oscillator. So assuming everything 
else on 10M works, your low power and dead segments are likely to be in 
those specific oscillator and/or buffer circuits.

I would not start by retuning the entire radio based on what you wrote 
before.

The rest of the radio is working, thereby eliminating any questions 
about those stages. You now have a fairly localized problem, start there.

73,
Bob - KA9FLX
