[ICOM] ICOM IC-735 SW1 Power switch bad

[Kent Hufford]

Yep, ICOM parts wants $46 plus shipping. The guy was real nice about it.

The switch is a common item. I found it at a DigiKey kinda store for $6.95
plus shipping.

Hope it is a drop in replacement<g>.

The 735 is in nice shape, even has the little clear plastic door still.
Otherwise, I'd just wire an external RS $1 switch in the back.

Icom America parts dept. still has them but last time I checked they 
were charging about $50! A rip off for sure.
If your using an external AC power supply just wire the 735 power 
switch ON all the time and use the power supply
power switch to turn the rig on/off.
