Dave, Please advise the part number of the PA board, usually stamped in black ink along one edge of the board. It's difficult for us to help you, if we don't know exactly which PA board you have.

A small copper loop beside the power adjust pot. burned thru the board and took out a cap.I was able to get it back online but am worried about overheating . mobil units don`t have large heat sinks. What is the normal power setting? These small copper loops act as a jumper from one trace to another. What are the correct term for these loops? Dave 73
