Also be sure you are not connected to DC power when you poke around 
inside.   The 590 always has power to it when connected to DC. 
Pressing the on/off button on the front panel just wakes it up.  So be 
sure  no DC power is connected.

Also at this time of year, and depending on what part of the country you 
are in,that evil  static electricity  should be considered.    You don't 
want a big fat spark from your fingertip getting inside the radio.

73, enjoy the radio, Steve   KW3A
