Re: Help! Is my tuner overheating?!

Well, I opened the KT-917 today.

I left it turned on for one hour and then I started touching the components.

The transformer got very warm, but not on the unpleasant side - I can hold my fingers on it indefinitely.

On the other side, there are a couple of heat sinks that got extremely hot - I can not touch them longer than one second. I could seriously burn my fingers on them.

I took many photos and I marked red the heat sinks in question.

The transformer and those heat sinks are the only real sources of heat, everything else runs almost cool.

Here are the pics - what do you think?
