[Icom] Fw: IC751A caps mod

[Marsh Parker]

Daniel,
I am in the process of changing the plastic trimmers now.  I did not 
completely remove the shield cover, but bent it back enough to pull the 
plastic trimmers out.  Use plenty of de-soldering braid to get the cover 
off and to remove the parts.  I had changed out the other electrolytics 
earlier.  My display was very erratic.  The only trimmer I have had 
trouble with was the lower frequency one, but I am going to change out 
all of them.
Good luck,
73,
Marsh NC7V

>I have been living with this problem for a while now, always waiting for the radio to settle down before using it, but it is becoming worse and very annoying so I just have to do the Icom suggested fix I found on their site, very common for these radios as I learned afterwards. Other than that, I am very happy with my radio and would never think of selling it.
