[Icom] Photo Coupler needed

[Jack Hartley]

Good Evening Siu...
My 761 is with Paul Hanson for the trimmer update.  The power supply=20
apparently died when he started it up.
He just informed me that the N-11=D8 Photo Coupler is bad and that ICOM has=
=20
the part on back order.
I'm far from being an expert and I'm not sure what part the Photo Coupler=20
plays.
I happen to have a PS-35 that is (was) in really bad condition=20
cosmetically.  I had no qualms in removing the part.
Removing it from the board is another adventure.  It took me an hour just=20
to get all the screws out and wires removed to get the board out.
The Coupler has four leads.  I will enlist the aid of a friend tonite to=20
help me get the thing off the board without applying too much heat.
Good Luck.

It would be interesting to know if ICOM Japan has the part or can tell us=20
if there is a replacement on the open market.
