fix this and it'l keep going many years still. The dont build them like that any inside, possibly top side upper right(dont remember any more, did this mod 20 years ago) there is a three or five pin regulator that supplies most of the radio. I put in a new fuse, and it worked as good as new. the glass was reduced to that, no splinters of glass to be found anywhere. It once survived a ligthning strike nearby, even the onboard fuse turned into two metal cups and a pile of what looked like gravel, presume it was the basic elements calcium sand and soda. but i guess i should save that for a review of the TS-590. It's the very fine grained dial that spoils it for me. yes, i know, there is the FINE button, but it changes the step size so much that what you really get there is only the choice of Too Fast and Too Slow. the tuning is certainly much more convenient than the kenwood, three buttons for step size, located right next to the vfo, and only 100 steps around the dial, as opposed to the kenwood which needs surgean's fingers to tune in exactly, and where you need to enter the bloody MENU to change it. the sound is more pleasing than my new TS-590, which is not bad as such. This must be one of the best receivers ever, outside of very expensive commercial ones.
