[ICOM] New Thread: Repair of ICOM IC-27H (or IC-27A)

[Gary Fiber]

Icom only ever replaced the entire display. I never looked to see they were 
individual segments. I do remember once several years ago, those displays 
went out of production, Icom America asked Icom Japan to reconsider so IJ 
had more made. I don't know if they are still available though.
