I did try the RF gain while probing the emitter pad, voltage went up and down. That's when I noticed my tx was shot. You had said to tx into dummy load. I was using my bk 1040 and noticed the meter barely moving. S meter in radio was still moving forward though. I did a quick voltage check on driver and get 3.5v on collector. Same for first final and nothing on second final.
Anyway back to L6. Yes the windings are all snapped off it looks like. I wouldn't try to salvage it.
I'm really not sure what to do at this point. I feel like I have a lot of time into already and should just let it go. Only thing is customer probably isn't going to be happy hearing that now transmit is gone as well. I do have some nos 1969 finals hanging around. Although this one has 2312's stock. So I guess hit me with what you think this radio is going to to need to get going and I will decide if I'm up to it or not. Thanks again.
