A TS-830S here has plenty of Drive, but won't really tune and puts out only 10 W carrier Max., all bands. NOS replacement finals are no help.
A check of the HV shows only about 425V instead of 800V (around 1/2). So:
Might the problem be:
- diodes in 1/2 of a bridged rectifier?
- a cap?
- or (hopefully not) a winding on the Xfrmr?
Thanks in advance.
