[TenTec] Paragon II murphy!

[Denton]

My paragon 2 decided, all on its own, just to drive me nuts yesterday 
morning...
No matter which antenna, tuner, power supply, dummy load I had the rf output 
of the paragon connected....

even with the rf drive (power control fully counterclockwise) set at 
absolute minimum, and in tune position....

when activating the tune button, the paragon would almost immediately snap 
the circut breaker in the power supply, due to excessive current draw.

made a call to Ten Tec....they suspected the power supply....a TT 961

Turned out to be all the screws, nuts and bolts in the rf brick have all 
worked loose over the years! After I re-tightned them and checked other 
assorted connections for looseness and other stuff, the paragon is back to 
normal operation.

But still will pull off the cover on the power supply to see if everything 
is nice and tight...
