Hi.  I'm back with a couple of more questions about working on the SX-62 I
bought.  I've looked over the radio and spent many hours listening to it.  I
initially thought and was reassured that working on the radio was within my
capabilities.  I've decided that although I have the desire to work on it,
I'm worried that I'll end up screwing up the radio.  Its too nice of a radio
for me to muck around in it and REALLY mess it up.  I've narrowed my options
down to the following.  Option 1 is to have someone recap the radio, replace
any questionable electrical components and generally clean it up to bring it
up to a more current electrical state.  Option 2 is to just resell the radio
for what I paid for it and keep the memories.

I've got concerns that it will cost more to have the work done than the
radio's really worth.  If I had the work done to recap the radio, have the
electrically questionable parts replaced and have it cleaned up what would
it what would be a fair price for the radio ?  Like many of you, I have to
assure the head accountant that I'm not just throwing the money away to keep
peace around here.

Mike
