Hi -
   Heck of a way to get back on the KNWD group, but everything had
been going great with the rig, so clearing my emails I stopped a number
of them.  Now I come back with hat in hand. Yesterday I was sitting 
here working on the pc and glancing at my laptop that was connected
to the 940 via MMTTY/NOMIC, reading the QSO between a SV 
stn and a stateside chap. After he signed off, I gave him a call and he
answered - when I went back to him the next time - the 940 'went
blank'.  First thing I checked was the 6A fuse in the rear, which was
okay - then I got out the manual[s] and tried the 'Initialize the
Microprocessor' procedure given in the IRC 940 User Supplement,
but that had no effect.  I have taken off the top cover - and I think
I found the problem, but cannot locate the board in any of the 
manuals.  There is what appears to be an in-line fuse[?] on the pc
board that is located immediately in front of the fan and in from the
transformer that looks as if it has blown.  Could anyone give me
the part number so find the item on the schematic and what board
that is [probably the ps unit??].  Any help would be greatly appreciated
and I will probably end up sending it to someone to fix and give it a
real good going over, as the eyes here are not what they used to be.
TIA
73,

[Might get the dust off one of my oldies as use it for a change - but
then again, a Valiant or HT-32 is not like lifting a FT940!!!]
