[Kenwood] Need info on TS-830S

[K3AC at aol.com]

If the Rx section is working normally, it sounds like you might have a  
problem with the HV supply to the finals and driver. If the HV caps have never  
been replaced, they may have gone bad on you - a common problem with the KW 
 hybrids after so many years.  If your receiver section is working, then 
I'd  get a service manual and check all the voltages of the pins of the 12BY7 
and  6146b's. Remember - there's 600-700VDC on the plates of the finals 
which can be  lethal so you need to be very careful troubleshooting the final 
cage.

Good  afternoon to the group,

I have a Kenwood TS-830S that receives well but  does not transmit.   The 
driver and the output tubes are good,  but no output.  I know this  sounds 
vague, but I'm more used to  tube equipment than solid state or hybrid  
gear.  
Any help on  where to start would be appreciated.
