I WILL BUY YOUR BROKEN/TRASHED ICOM H.F. RADIO


Hi,

I want to get back on the air by seeing if I can fix a trashed or
non-working Icom h.f. radio.

Has to be cheap.

Thank you.

Good luck! I had a 745 until the late 90s. I loved that radio. Wore
the heck out of it but it reached the point to where it was like an old
car. Always needed some tinkering.

I live in the Caribbean so the environment was a big factor. Cleaning
cards and sockets and plugs became routine every time I wanted to use
it. No major failures (it got new finals and a new ROM board in the
early 90s).

Wish I could get another new one like it these days!

I was surprised to get $180 as-is out of it on ebay with a pockmarked
front panel.

The Icom survived Nevis, Anguilla, Dom. Rep and was finally retired in
Vieques Is., PR. I have lived in VQS for the past 14 yrs.
