He went through my TS 2000 a few years back. Did a good job. Good communication with me and affordable..
Very common with that rig. Worth fixing though.

TS-440.
Dreaded DOT syndrome.Much info on the net.
PLL out of lock, if I remember correctly there is 4 or 5 pll in the 440.
The compound, wax looking stuff, Kenwood used to stabilize components in the PLL section turns corrosive after a few decades.
Starts corroding component leads and traces on the board.
Needs repaired and might as well recap it to lower the chance of any future failures.
Lots of info on how to repair it yourself online if you want try do it yourself.

@ BJ radionut:
Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare May 15, 2024 @ 14:55 UTC Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned -
