On mine it was the ovenized crystal on the main board that the heating
winding shorted to ground
I replaced that with new TCXO from TenTec
Pricey but what a difference!
If they no longer have it there are alternatives available at a much lower
cost

Subject: [TenTec] Omni VI Help
Hi everyone. I need some advice on an Omni VI I picked up at an estate
sale. It's a nice looking rig, loaded with filters, but
it will not power up. It is shorting the DC voltage to ground it appears.
Took it to a friend's house and hooked it to an Astron
30 amp supply and the voltage dropped to zero!! Darn!!
So can anybody give me some advice as to what to look for or should I just
bite the bullet and send it to Ten Tec??
Thanks in advance, Dave K9UX
