Hi All,
I walked into the shack about a month ago and smelled something
really hot like the smell from a hot resistor. Turned off all
the equipment waited a while then turned everything back on.
The FT-736 didn't come back on, so I assumed the power supply,
as this is a common problem with the rigs as they get older.
Bought a repair replacement kit for the electrolytic caps
in the power supply, which is normally the problem. They get
baked and fail.
Got the power supply out last night to do the repairs and
I discovered it was the SCR in the power supply that had
totally burned up. Weird.
Does anyone here have or know a Digi-key or Mouser part
number for the SCR or an equivalent compatible part?
It labeled SCR21 on P.C. board.
Thanks
