[1000mp] looks like my MP went south

[Jerry Parkany]

I sent my mark v to John, KI4NR, in Florida when I lost the receive on
both ant a/b inputs; he replaced several transistors on the tuner main
board and while checking out the rest of the rig, he found the
attenuator not functioning on -12 or -18 db and had to replace 4
resistors on the RF unit.  John normally specializes in the older rigs,
but he came to me with high recommendations.  My rig arrived there on a
Friday; he had it done by the following Tuesday.  Good turnaround time;
fair price; rig is working great now.  I give him 2 thumbs up.

And who is the "Yaesu doctor" now?

I remember that "Burghardt Repair Service" were pretty good, right?
Do we have anybody else?
