[Icom] Icom repainting and Matching

[icom@mailman.qth.net]

Just Join the List a few days ago I have been collecting a few Drake twins 
and wanted to get the cabinets refinished like they were original I contacted 
Hartzell in Miamsburg Ohio, Who originally did the cabinet Paint for drake 
the cabinets came Back like New, I also asked them if they could match some 
Icom cabinets, I sent in my 761 cabinet and they match it perfect along with 
same type finish also they matched the ps30 power supply paint also. The cost 
for most cabinets 25.00 larger radios like IC 761 maybe 55.00 Just to put it 
into perspective a new cabinet if still available from Icom will run 375.00. 
Matching paint has some additional cost but if they have done the matching 
work for previous customer you will not have that additional charge, also 
there very quick, I just had 7 cabinets restored 175.00 Total and they were 
return each wrapped and bubbled with cardboard. and shipping was included.  I 
Know I have been frustrated in trying to restore an older Icom radio and not 
being able to get a good match or correct finish. 

Right Now Hartzell can Match all 761 and 765 , 9000 , 781 radios 775 that 
light Bronze Finish. Also they have the paint match for the PS30,AT500 and 2 
KL amp at100 .

Hope This helps for those of you that want your radios too look new and 
remember to remove all the plastic hardware from the cabinets when you send 
them in.
