No problem, I share when I can. And yes he has great videos and is one of the guys that inspired me to make videos.

Some radios you have to use your own judgment. Search and see what others have done. Radios like the Kenwood TS-850 and TS-50 need to be recapped. Many known issues with capacitors in those two rigs. I have done over 4 videos on the TS-50 alone.

Thanks BBB. I have a 520S in the shack so may fix this one up to go in the house. Nice looking rigs you have there,. Thanks for posting.

I saw nothing on the connector that showed it had shorted. But what I did find is the connector and the ribbon cable that connected the final board to the filter board was bad. This radio lead me on many goose chases. And every path I took I found problems there. I have many hours of footage of...
