Re: Kenwood TS50 faulty.
I did watch some of those vids with interest, as i knew nothing about ts50's, was at least handy to find out what goes wrong and where things were, doing smd components is out of my skill set, i did tell the owner to send it to somebody to replace them, i did see one or two elna thru hole caps in there aswell, i know from the hi fi world that they can be troublesome, i did take some out of a denon cd player some time ago and replaced them with panasonics, it did also have some elna cerafine caps in there aswell, they are more reliable and are proper audio caps. when ive finished my tests on the ts50 i will get it back to him and get the atu, that may tell a different story, he also has another radio he hasent used in a while a superstar 3900 that has carrier on ssb tx, carrier balance was checked last time and was ok then he moved it and carrier came back on ssb tx, so in that case mr and mrs dry joints will be the port of call with that one, more pairs on specs then !!
