[Icom] IC-735 Problem

[lee r. wical]

Doug:
	If you wish to keep the ICOM-735, you may doo as I did and send it back to
ICOM SERVICE\
(I used Bellvue, WA) and not only did they replace the 4-plastic trimmer
caps and two small green lamps which illuminate to front panel dials.
	Doug, I've found it was worth it. BTW, It cost more for express shipment
and insurance that the parts and labor!
	That was a year ago. BTW, I have two (2) IC-735, two (2) IC-720A and a
IC-781 for rigs. I love them all!
