TS-450S loss of receive gain


 

Hi group...

My 30+ years old TS-450 has developed a moderate loss of gain roughly a few minutes after I turn it on, which I noticed some time back.

I was using it to monitor the output of my signal generator for hum, and I may have hit the 450 with a couple of volts of RF...

Where is it best to start looking, or is this not an uncommon issue...??

Thanks for your advice...

Maybe only the gas discharge tube.
