Replacement Vol & Sq pots (was: RE: [ICOM] PBT information)

[D C *Mac* Macdonald]

I just bought some brand new squelch and volume
pots (with switches) for an old Icom 2m rig.  Even
with postage, they ran under $15 total and I have
NEW pots!!  I'd try the mothership first!!

Thanks for the great explanation on Icom PBT history, if anyone would know, 
someone on this list would have the answer.
PBT and a good notch is what makes Icom receivers perform so well.
Gary, what kind of electrical switch contact cleaner should I buy to clean a 
scratchy volume pot and on/off switch? Rat Shack?
Adam, you know Icom, thanks for adding information about the different 
radios things I did not know.
Frank, I can get this mod done for $90 and am told it works just like the 
original did. About $30 of the mod is for the ceramic filter, the rest 
labor.  The more I consider it, the more I am inclined to send the radio and 
get it done. I am hesitant to try it myself and have no business inside my 
275H, sure sounds simple though. Also need to install the CW filter in the 
275H, sounds simple but I am hesitant to get in there.
