[Kenwood] The 'problem' is probably faulty research

I'm not an expert on the 940 by any stretch of the imagination. But I did
repair one some years ago that had several 3rd party mods installed.
One of the mods was a crowbar circuit on the +24V supply I believe. The
reason for the mod was that if the +24 regulator failed, it would take out
the finals. Maybe that's what was meant by power supply problems?
I do know that the power supply has a very low resistance resistor in the
regulator circuit which is no longer available from Kenwood. I tried to
repair a supply with a substitute without success. I was fortunate enough
to get one from someone here on the reflector who had a parts rig he was
cannibalizing.
