Hello all.  I have a Ten-Tec Model 1320 kit I built and used for some months.  
Last Christmas I received a new portable power supply for my QRP stuff.  As all 
things like this go I was not concentrating on the task at hand due to all the 
distractions of the holidays etc and being unfamiliar with my new power supply 
you can guess what happened next.

Yep, I reversed the power polarity to the 1320.

Does anyone have any experience with this happening to a T-Kit?  Can anyone 
give me a good idea of the parts I am likely to have to replace or can someone 
just say "Sorry, it's junk.  Chalk it up to learning."  I know the final is 
gone because of the big hole in it but there doesn't seem to be any other 
visible physical damage.  There's no audio.

I will be in Sevierville in a couple of weeks on vacation and I plan to stop by 
the factory (just a side note there, hint hint factory guys) so I am hoping to 
pick up if not the parts a new kit to replace it.

Love my Pegasus and RX-320 (got them for Christmas this past year).

Thanks.

Ron Bloss, KBØFQM
