TH-2600
19-07-1998 Mod to open
TX on the Kenwood TH-2600-a
- To access the 2600 loosen the two large screws on the sides of the unit
with a coin.
- Remove the 3 very small phillips head screws on the back-side of the unit
- Remove the battery.
- In the base of the unit you will see four phillips head screws remove the
two that hold down the front of the unit (speaker side)
- kinsert screwdriver into base & twist --you will hear a "pop" as the
two halvs separate.
- Carefully lift front & let it turn to the right, as there is a ribbon
connection between the front cover & the chassis.
- In the lower right hand corner of the p.c. board you will see a row of
diodes on end (abt 7), snip the top two. (They may already have a solder
joint, as these are used in bench test)
- Note: these are diodes d-32 & d-33 the board you are working on is
x55-1380-10 a/2
- Reverse the process, & there you have it......
