[ICOM] FREE FREE FREE, Classis Icom Parts (I think!)

[Gareth Gammon]

True, but at some point it becomes uneconomic to continue with a repair. As 
I remember, he was going to spend a bit more time looking at whether it was 
feasible to repair it but I didn't hear back from him. By this time it had 
already been there 2 years or more. The radio was in very nice cosmetic 
shape. From what I have read though it wasn't a great radio.
