I'll have to find some freeze spray. Would love to use it to identify what the heat is affecting.

If it'll fix it I'll do it. I like building things, but don't
like undoing things if there's any way around it.
Copy that! I managed to melt my CPU
while doing intial testing on my QMX (I think some clippings got
where they didn't belong), so I ordered a second kit.
Built it this last week, except that my
ADHD wouldn't tolerate going step by step through the instructions
in the assembly manual. I think I got all the right parts
in the right places (yet to be seen...), but I exchanged the male
and female connectors for JP304/JP206 and JP303/JP205. And in the
midst of it all, somehow I knocked C107 off the board (and I can't
find it anywhere!)
I thought building a second time would
be a snap, though winding the torroids would be tedious. I WAS
WRONG!
Good luck with that transformer-- Could
you spray it with cold when it's hot, to see if that's whats
causing the power decrease?
Just a thought!

Paul,
Could be. It gets pretty hot, but I've read that is
normal, but maybe not.
As a desperate move I've thought about winding the
new type.
Let's see now, new finals, drive IC and output
transformer. Hmmmm... If it'll fix it I'll do it. I like
building things, but don't like undoing things if there's any
