Might help if you'd let us know where you're located.
Thanks. Is it cheaper to buy a new radio V.S. having a 97 repaired? I really like the radio. I accidentally arced the hot to ground. Hoping that it could be reasonably repaired.

Hot to ground? You sure IT’S DEAD? And not just no power & ground to it now?

Ezell Aviation Breckenridge TX. These people are pretty nice, friendly and the avionics guy did a good job for me. I think that King now requires the radio to be sent in to the factory? Garmin too. Give them a call. (254) 559-3051 Ezell Aviation.
my Flightline 760 worked great for 11 months. Then smoked. Sent it in and smoked again in about 2 sec. 12.5 volts in the right pins. We'll see, but probably Wasted $800.

Did they tell you what they found wrong with the old radio? If it is a wiring issue (see Mike's post above) think about replacing the harness. It's cheaper than another $800 radio.

FWIW I had a King KT76 (?) txp in my last airplane.
Didn't see the smoke escaping but one day it quit working.
Took it into an avionics shop who troubleshot it while I waited,
they found a blown internal fuse but couldn't identify a fault in the radio that might have caused that.
Charged me $68, including $20 for the "special fuse" required, which I thought that was a pretty good deal.
Txp quit working again later a few months later.
I pulled it out and opened it up-- sure enough, the same fuse had blown.
Strangely enough, someone musta broke into my hangar & replaced that "special fuse" with a garden-variety AGA-2.
They're like 5 for 3 bucks at NAPA.
Anyway, both times the txp fuse blew it was a hot day.
I ran a scat tube from the little vent on the side of the boot cowl to cool the txp.
Seemed to do the trick.
