- Subject: TR-7950 power output
- Just found a Kenwood screwup on the tr-7950. On the power-output
- board where the PA module is connected is a 470 uf Cap designated
- C 1. The silkscreen on the board shows the + terminal going to gnd.
- The origional cap that was factory installed was installed with the
- positive lead going to the + on the board. This is obviously wrong
- as the Gnd Foil is the minus lead not the + lead. The cap had swolen
- up and burst due to incorrect installation. Almost blew another cap
- till I verified that the MINUS goes to the foil, not the way its
- marked on the PC board.
- If you have a 7950 or 7930 you would do well to pull off the back
- and inspect the Cap installed at C1. Its the only large filter cap
- on this board so its easy to locate. If the case looks bulged, better
- get another cap and install it correctly. 73, N5WX @ N5WX.OK
