The TS-520 has a pair of 6146Bs in the final amp stage. In SOME transceivers, screen 
emission from old, gassy, or overloaded 6146Bs can cause the changeover relay to stick in 
the on condition until that voltage bleeds off.

Athough I doubt that that is an issue here, it might be something to think about.
