I am wondering if anyone can help me with this set, I have this radio on the workbench which presented with no transmit or rather no RF output. a look at the service manual I have for and I was able to trace the problem back to R141 which is a 10 ohm half watt resistor on the collector of Q35, which had gone open in a bad way. I checked around the stages looking for a short to ground and did not find anything amiss. The RF stage and final appear serviceable so I reluctantly replaced the resistor and powered up expecting the resistor to fail again.
To my surprise this brought about the restoration of RF output and returned the radio to full operation, about 8 watts out which I understand is about right for the set. It performed faultlessly for about three weeks then the resistor which I had been monitoring closely for failed in the same way
I have attached the service manual any help would be appreciated
