There's nothing more satisfying than a good ham radio rig repair.

Glad you showed the temp effect on the curve tracer! 👍

So now the question is should you change all the other transistors of that type or not?

Wonderfull, that the 'old Lady'(Kenwood - TS-120S) is working like a charm, now! -100% succses! - I have to say to you, that I also have a 'Kenwood TS-130V' - wich is the follow-up radio, of the 'TS-120' ! But this radio (TS-130V) only 'generates' max. 10w output power! Mostly inside, the radio's are the same, from the hardware- side. (lacking the 100W PA transistors, of corse!) Only the more "'band's" they have. (all SW, excluding 160m, but plus the WARC-band's. Why they have done that, is and was, a miracle for me, ... ! Why no 160m, in this time periode?) I have 'bought' an additional 'CW-filter', with 280Hz, and also the small 'SSB- filter', with 1,8kHz, for my radio. And these filters are worth every cent I have spent, to buy them! It makes a real good 'CW- mashine' out of the 'only10W-TRX ', ... but also a beautiful 'SSB- radio', with good receiving 'additionales', to the stock TS-130. The 'only thing' you will missed, is a 'dsp' noise-reducing system, but this 'part' of equipment, was never aviable, at the 'legale time' you could buy such a rig! I used my kenwood TS-130, as a 'back-up TRX' and second (T)RX, during 'contests', and some other times, on an second antenna, searching for 'multipliers' on other bands, ... ! In that special way, I use my 'TS-130V', there is no negativ issue, only having 10W output. On CW, 10W is often 'more then enough' riding the waves, when the coditions are fair, ...! - Again,... sorry when I made some mistakes in English, it is not my native tounge. - 73 de Markus - db9pz - JN39fq - 3miles/5km east of LX -

Sadly, troubleshooting time vs something like a new IC 7300 is more and more questionable. Good for you to have seen this one through!!

I think I can understand why the little component tester didn't consider that a transistor anymore.

Hmmm, as i understood all VCOs were not working properly and you changed only one transistor in one VCO and now all VCOs are working?
