I mistakenly transmitted from my Kenwood TS-590S into my new (used) Ten-Tec Centurion amp 
without the control relay turned on in the radio.  The amp saw up to 20 watts in 
with the amp switch in operate with no transmit relay signal from the radio.  Now 
the amp has no output.

Notes:

Amp turns on, standby, operate and transmit lights works.  There is plate voltage.  The 
tubes light.  There is plate current and grid current when I transmit from the radio with the 
radio's amp control relay now turned on, but no output from amp.  I only tried transmitting 
with low power from the radio, up to 25W.

Could I have blown a component on a board transmitting into the amp when the amp 
switch was set to operate with no control signal coming from the radio?  If so, 
where should I look in the amp?

Thank you for any suggestions.
