[Icom] The saga of the 761

Thu, 1 May 2003 11:46:01 -0000

Your story has been one of the most interesting on the list.  I have read
every one!  And what a story!  Not only did you repair a fine radio, but YOU
also transitioned from TUBE to SOLID STATE in the process.

You may have many more radios in your life.  You will certainly find a few
better radios.  But this -THIS- 761 will always hold a special place in your
shack.

I wonder....  is it for sale?  <grin>
