Success!!!! Success!!!!

The 830 is back up and running with full output!
I removed and cleaned all the plugin connectors on the IF and AF boards. Rf
output was immediately restored!
Thanks so much for all the great pointers and advice.
a special thank you to Jim EI4HH who pointed me in the right direction!
Cheers!!!
