[Kenwood] Oh no! My 930S smoked.

Richard,
 
There are screws on top and bottom that have to come out and you have to pull the fan and heat shink for the main power loose. The unit should come out easily. 
 
Good luck.

Well, for many years it has been the best rig I never use.
In the last 9 years, I have no more than a dozen contacts
with it. Have been using my classics. I turned it on to
check the time and turned around to the bench. Then I
smelled the smoke and turned around to see it billowing out
of the right rear. The mike must have had something laid on
the lock button of my MC-80. With all the junk on the desk,
it is no wonder it never happened before.

The antenna was not connected. I thought it had a protection
feature if the thing was keyed without a resonant antenna.
Anyway, I can fix it but the service manual does not have a
disassembly picture for the final unit. How in the world do
you get that darn thing out? I removed all the screws I
could find but it won't budge.

What is the most likely failure? I suppose it is the final
amps. Model is TS-930SAT serial #4080206.

Thanks and 73, Dick KF4NS

Keep the glow!
