I removed the covers top and bottom but find no 81595 mixer board. I did

Why trepidation? It's common for connector contacts to oxidize or
become loose over the years. Disconnecting and reconnecting one or more
times simply scrapes a bit of the oxidation off. Just be careful to
remove and re-connect them without bending contacts, and lined up
correctly (not one row off, for example). And do this for ALL the
connectors.
Another thing I would try is to back off the power a lot (5-10W) and see
if you get anything out. If the SWR is very high at the rig, the TX may
go into protect mode, especially at full power.
I think this may be a job for Sevierville.
Why? It's probably one of the first things the guy on the bench is
going to do, and I'll bet that you work a lot cheaper than he does,
especially by the time Paul Clinton is done with you. If these simple
things don't fix it, THEN send it to them.
