Did you try replacing the short cable between the head and radio body?

I had a problem with my 857 not starting, it turned out that the pins in the front panel connector were not all making a connection to the cable pins.?

That's not Engineering; that's like when TV repair was nicknamed

Anyway -- you could probably get a complete set of spare
boards (including the control head) for that price by buying a
second hand job=-O

Well finally sent the radio in for repair and got the estimate
$871 plus shipping.? NO WAY.? They don't trouble shoot to the
component level just replace boards.? I would like to know the
sequence of the turn on in the radio, but the schematic is not
easy to follow.? Just force keying up the main relay does not turn
it on.? Sounds like a winter task.
