Looks like 70-80W on 10m. The radio thinks it's a full 100W.
If I go down from 10m power goes up slightly, never quite 100W but close enough
for me.

Hi Shawn,
what's the output like on the bands 20 and above? I recently restored
one and spent quite a bit of time chasing my tail. I had full output on
160-40 but it dropped off rapidly above that.
I eventually discovered one of the final transistors was open. The
little "3D structure" of resistors/caps they used to bias the
transistors had a bad solder joint that had opened up and this killed
the transistor.
Take the final section off and give it a good visual inspection, and
maybe even wiggle things a bit in that area and you may find the same thing.
