[Boatanchors] WTB: IC 551 six meter rig PCB or Junker for parts

[Revcom]

May be true, but my wife and I have been using a 551D for over 20 years and 
have gotten
very good signal reports and never had a complaint.  Only get on when band 
is open but
really enjoy the rig.  Meter lamps keep burning out, big deal.

Biggest problem we have is when get a power "bump" the power supply goes 
into a reset
mode and has be cycled off and on to get it going again.  Always been that 
way.
