Sounds like it is time to retire the rig

Subject:	[Icom] Repair of IC-900/901 Fiber Cable

Greetings,
I have a fiber optic cable for the IC-900/901 that passes light from one 
end to the other (using a flashlight to test) but does not work when 
plugged into the rig. Substituting a known good fiber cures the problem; 
rig works 100%. Anyone else had this problem? Anyone know of a fix or how 
to repair the cable? They are no longer available from Icom; last selling 
price was $39.00 for a new one from Icom. Anyone have a fiber to sell? A 
short one will suffice; do not need the longer cable.
BTW, the application is an IC-900, which does not allow the wire option 
(instead of the fiber) that the 901 does.

Thanks,
