Repairing a dead Kenwood TS-850S

By KA7OEI

The author fixed a friend's Kenwood TS-850S radio, which suffered from Capacitor Plague, a common problem in 1990s electronics where capacitors leak and damage circuit boards. The CAR board, responsible for generating signals, was especially affected. The author cleaned the board, replaced the capacitors, and repaired a broken trace. Although the radio mostly functioned afterward, the Slope Tune control behaved abnormally. The cause seems to be a software issue, not a hardware one.
