Hi Tony,
Sounds like a smoking gun to me. Certainly there must be someone on
that side of the Atlantic that could replace an SMT part! I'm sure
Elecraft would provide guidance.

Hi Scott
I had a look inside and under the atu but nothing looks out of place
until a little smt device dropped out. It looks like a coil of some
sort but I am not sure where it fell off and even if I did I now dont
have the facilities to put is back with any dignity. So when the elves
get back to work I will get an RMA number and box it up and send it
off for them to remedy. Since its second hand it wont hurt for a once
over.

It might be worth taking a look at the bandpass filters, just to see
if there's a broken inductor wire, or something else simple. I've
always been suspicious of those toroids supported only by their
leads. You could also just do some continuity tests, to make sure
the relays are OK.
Unfortunately, the filters are on the main circuit board. If you
can't fix it yourself, you'll have to send the whole radio to Elecraft.
