Things aren't as bad as I thought.. In sense, many of the parts for modern radios are harder to find than the parts for old radios. Such things as Application Specific Integrated Circuits are oftentime unique to one particular radio. And there isn't an inventory of common parts in repair shops, warehouses and drugstore tube testers. These ICs are highly reliable, but not perfect and they can also be damaged by other failures in the radio. The most practical way to fix many problems on a newer radio is by swapping boards from other junk radios. I really can't see the sort of future hobbiest repair interest in current radios as we now have with old tube radios. Frank Dresser |
