Protection Diode - Murphy's Law

I am restoring a Kenwood TS-930S. Irv VE6BP Now it's Murphy's Law. I got everything put together nicely and tested the unit -- all fine.... ....and then, MURPHY STRIKES AGAIN!... The motor on the PA Cooling heat sink failed -- and it's no longer available. I've replaced it with a small brushless motor/fan combo, and it all fit nicely and runs fine. So much for full restoration! I guess that with some of the parts no longer avaiable, a total restoration is out of the question. In any event, I now have a great rig fully operational -- till something else goes (hopefully not for a long time). Irv VE6BP |

Find somebody who can rewind it. Brushes can be repaired too. Bearings - well, depends. Or, if you're lucky, someone will have a nonfunctional unit on eBay you can get for a song. Or, if you can fix it, put the non- original part in whichever one you don't want to keep and sell it on eBay.
