And was a good radio, fun to use and play with, but it went dead on me about a year ago.  I have now decided to get it repaired.  Of course, i am hoping it is something minor.  I would also like to get a good long wire antenna installed for it, too.  I would prefer not to ship the radio.

Phil -

I'd agree with Avery, contact Les Locklear. He's had several of the
Leary receivers through the years and has a pretty good handle on his
reasoning (other than the wild paint).

Les' aohell email is dead, his new email address is:

leslocklear at cableone.net

He's south of you around Gulfport, MS. At the very least, he can
probably tell you what NOT to do to it and maybe who to avoid. Al
Parker has a lot of SP-600 experience too, but I have no idea if he's
ever gotten ahold of a Leary version. I've only seen pictures myself.
