Kenwood TS-830S 

Hi. It's nearly 9 years later. Do you still have it? Have you had any more problems since this video was made? I'm thinking about getting a 830. I had a 520S and two different sets of 599D Twins back when. Love my Yaesu FT-817ND but...nothing like the warm glow of two 6146B's thumping out over 100w in the low spot of the sunspot cycle. HiHi!

Hi Lee, Take a look at the video i have regarding the FL2100 amplifier, It shows how to discharge the capacitors in that video, Take note of the probe ive made. Lee be VERY VERY carefull if you do inside any mains amplifiers as the voltages can be LETHAL. Stay safe...

Nice video! A friend of a friend found two of these radios plus numerous other accesories in his mothers basement. It used to belong to his father who was a radio operator in the military. He is willing to sell the equipment but neither of us knows if anything works. Sitting in a basement for years can't be good for any electronics.I'm going to make him an "as is" offer for the lot. I really like the quality and serviceability of older electronics.

how id you discharge the caps i have a 830s and i need to change the tubes and i need a safe way to discharge the caps

Nice one! Im looking at one of these from a SK, Im only an M6 so gotta wait to use it. I love older kit.
