[Kenwood] W6TOG Magicom board

I have a set of instructions for the Magicom TX audio  processor mod kit 
for the Kenwood TS-820.   I actually bought and  installed one of these kits 
(for my TS-820) new in the late 1970s.    Besides a few simple installation 
instruction sentences, there's little there  (no schematics, and the IC 
that's on the small board had the markings  removed).   I suspect someone MAY 
have taken one of these boards  (originally intended for a TS-820) and 
installed it in your TS-430 instead;  I don't recall ever seeing such a kit 
advertised for the '430, which came out  quite a bit later than the '820.   Magicom 
also sold a kit that  supposedly improved the receiver front end of the 
TS-820; I also have  instructions for that.   I don't recall either mod kit 
making a  significant improvement in the TS-820's performance.   I also don't  
remember seeing Magicom ads for kits for any radios other than the  TS-820.   
Let me know if you can use a copy of what I  have.
 
73, Herman, N4CH.

My relative's TS430 has one of those audio processor boards  wired into 
it, and  want's it removed it to restore the radio back to  stock.  The 
radio has had the VOX switch wiring messed with, the VOX  is on all the 
time and can't be turned off as well as the ON AIR light is  on all the 
time. I suspect it's part of how this thing was put in the  radio.

I've only been able to turn up vague references to this board,  they 
appear to have been produced in the late 1980's to early  1990's.

tnx
