Whups, missed this post.

I'll predict that there is a jumper wire across a 10-Watt resistor R607 on the underside of the transmitter.



Or R607 could be missing altogether, replaced with a jumper wire.

Have a very close look at the mode-selector switch contacts. A bright light and a magnifier may reveal one or more burned spots in the brown plastic between one contact and the adjacent rivet.

Lotsa contacts to look at, but this failure only gets more and more common every year that goes by.

It was a rare failure until about 25 years ago.
