There have been numerous posts in the past on different items, probably 
nothing as in-depth as the SP-600 though, which is a far more complex 
radio. You could try searching the archive. The '129 is basically a '120 
in a jazzed-up case. Nice little radios, many guys have them and love 
them. A fellow by the name of Ron Hankins in Seminole, Florida sells 
excellent replacement front panels if yours has any 'added features'. I 
have one in the queue awaiting this face lift. Matching speakers show up 
from time to time as well.

Good luck with it, keep us posted as to what you find as you go through it.
