[ICOM] Looking for Parts for an IC 725

[W7RY]

I agree Cliff! I find the easiest way is to make up a list and send it
to them via email. They respond with the price if it's still available.
Then you can just place an order via Email as well. 

Very easy and with the list in WRITTEN form, there is less room for
errors.

I was able to find some BFO transformers for a 751A that I though may be
unavailable. But now that I think of it, they are probably a common part
that they still use in current production radios.

Why are people so hesitant to check with Icom. Actually on most of their

parts they are very reasonable. The listed display shows to be $32.51.
