Gerald, K5SW, hit the nail on the head.  He said to try another output meter.  Since I only have the power meter built into my Kenwood antenna tuner (200 watts) I couldn't crank up the amp to full power.  The bottom line is that with the tuner reading 200 watts output, the AL-1200 internal meter was reading around 75 watts!!  Shazbot!!  Who would have thought that this would have been the problem.  Now I need to figure out what has failed on the ALC/Power Board.

Thanks to everyone who had some great suggestions.
