I bought an old kenwood ts-520 at a local ham fest, was told it was working. Got it home started messing with discovered it had no rf out put. And that the driver tube was completely missing. If anyone has any junk kenwood hybrids or parts laying around, I will gladly buy the tube heat shield from you.
Thanks

Tube completely missing.....WTB the tube heat shield?
I have some slip on metal tube shields that will fit a 12by6, is that what you are looking for?
 
Yes the 12by7a driver tube is completely missing. And from what research I have done there is supposed to be a slip on heat shield on it. I have never owned or operated a kenwood hybrid before. I have already ordered a tube from eBay. But from what research I have done the shield is important, and will cuase problems if it’s not installed.
