Mine is s/n 785
Don't know what the problem is. I am trying to contact
the guy who sold it to me.
Tomorrow I will contact TenTec. Might be I can send
send them de RF unit. WHat will be expensive is to
send the transformer overseas.
I will also contact a local technician who repaired my
oild linear one time.
