[ICOM] Pro II with low serial number

[Joe Moraine]

   I  have  a  good  friend contemplating the purchase of a Pro II with a
   serial  number  of  13XX.  I think I have read in the past of problems
   with  some  Pro  II's  with  serial  numbers  below  2000 regarding an
   overheating  component  causing premature failure.  Has anyone had any
   significant problems with Pro II's with serial numbers below 2000?  Is
   there  any reason to stay away from Pro II's with serial numbers below
   2000?  Thanks for any input.
