[ICOM] IC-245 Help Needed..

Anyone using one of these old rigs yet?  I got one here that I am working on 
it and its acting kinda weird.  Transmit and receive is perfect, on both SSB 
and FM, but the frequency display isn't working right.  The Mhz digit and 
decimal point light up, using a frequency counter it moves up and down just 
fine, I can tune from 144-147 and the Mhz digit changes, full power output 
and stable on transmit and receive, but the Khz digits, all three digits 
after the decimal point on the display, will not light up.

I poked and prodded but nothing appears to be loose or intermittent.  All I 
can find online for it is the IC-245E manual and this is not the E model. 
It appears to be the IC-245 with the SSB adapter as the manual I was able to 
find online refers to it.

Anyone got a clue here?  It seems to me there was a common problem that 
wiped out the display like this but I can't find the info anymore, I think 
it was a discussion on eham a year or so ago.
