[ICOM] IC-271H blown finals

[Lee (WW2DX)]

Hi George,

I was under the impression that blown 271/471 finals where not  
replaceable, do you know otherwise?
I was told by a Icom service center that the parts are no longer  
manufactured. I think it was the chip caps that are soldered to the  
finals that are no longer available.

If you have success I would like to hear about it. If not, I might be  
interested in the unit. I have a 471H that has dead finals and I use  
it for a low power 432 beacon just using the exciter stage.

Good luck, 73
