Hi Alan,
You have not offended me. I have taken the top off and looked around.
I certainly don't see anything that looks like it has been arching.
The AC power is ok. The fuses are ok. Just thought someone would have
an idea on where to start looking.
I have emailed Elecraft but so far no answer. Sent the email on 6/3/2020.
Thanks
