[ICOM] Loose parts

[MikeR]

Hi Woody -
I think you're right. At a closer examination, it looks like the bright 
plating on the spring peeled. Wonder if there's anytning under or 
attached to the square "can" that would be damaged by the heat of 
soldering? I don't see an easy way to remove it, short of taking out the 
board (shudder) it's mounted on. Still speculating on it's importance.
Thanks,
Mike
