[Elecraft] PX3 Screen Issue [clarification on repair/replacement]

[John_N1JM]

Hi Wayne:

Recently I had a problem with my PX3. The VFO A cursor bar was black instead
of green and some other artifacts. Elecraft support said it was probably the
LCD and I would have to replace the front panel board and LCD at a cost of
over $500. I consequently bought a used PX3 at much less than $500. I still
have the PX3 with the "defective LCD". I would still like to get it repaired
if it's around $100 or so. :-)

73, John N1JM
