TS-50 Repairs

 This is a Kenwood TS-50 I repaired for a friend. It originally suffered lightning damage, and was put on a shelf for years, afterward. By the time I got it for repairs, several caps had leaked and damaged the PC board. The board was repaired (several damaged traces and 17 thru-hole jumpers that connect both sides of the board), caps changed, 1st RF amp replaced along with some isolation diodes, and she's back up and running. Here's a few pics and videos...
