[ICOM] 781 Front Panel Replacement

[gfiber at comcast.net]

Tim,

So far as I remember its not to diffucult. There are something like 117 buttons on the front panel. Generally the most important thing was to make sure you did not crush a switch when doing a change out. That happened quite a bit during my time at Icom when customers attempted to change out their front panels on the 
IC-781.

I don't remember which buttons need to me removed but I think that number is small as most come through the back.
