New to Google Groups so if there is a Kenwood or TS-430 group I could not find   
   it.   
      
   I purchased a Kenwood TS-430s off of ebay. The note said it had not been   
   tested since the guy selling his fathers radio was not a HAM nor interested in   
   electronics. It also mentioned to look at the fuses to test the unit before   
   use. After I received it I    
   though it interesting that the (13.4 DC volt) power cord had a 2 prong 110 AC   
   volt plug wire nutted to it. Just from that picture I assumed it had been   
   plugged into the wall & was ready for some blown parts. Surprisingly I hooked   
   it to a 12 volt power    
   supply & it lit up. I only left it on a few seconds but notice when off but   
   the power supply on some smoke was getting out. I think the issue is the L8 &   
   L9 inductors. The service manual list L8 as a L40-1001-02 ferri-inductor 10uh   
   & the L9 as a L40-6811-   
   03 ferri-inductor 680uh.   
      
   My question is what is the amperage for these so I can go to the local   
   electronics sore & pick them up?   
      
   FYI: Im not very electrically inclined, as you may have noticed, but my son is   
   & thats why we are doing this project so if the amp question is irrelevant or   
   I need some other spec for the inductor please let me know.
