I would say, fix things only after they break. You'll go a little
balmy trying all the preventatives you suggest. Since you have a
service manual, that should give you what you need to walk you through
the procedures.

Parts on a rig that old are iffy. Icom may have some. And not have
some. Manufacturers are required to stock parts for only 7 years.

Finally, as the owner of an Icom 735, which is about the same vintage
as your 730, I can recommend Clif Holland at Avvid in Irving, Texas to
fix what you cannot.

Have fun...

I recently purchased an Icom 730 HF radio. ... ... The
last thing I want to do is screw up a good radio. Thanks for reading my
long post. Please e-mail me if anyone can help me out with this. Thanks!
