[ICOM] WTD: 706MkII control head or replacement LCD display

[Bill NY9H]

when the head was stolen , by a misguided youth,
ICOM sold the head as a part.......  call the parts dept.....

that youth was misguided into believing I WOULD NOT CATCH HIM...

I FOUND A somewhat  rare GPS COMPONENT ON EBAY ... along with the 
other gps he swiped from the neighbors,,,, he told the arresting cops 
he did 14 car burgs,,,,

and he paid the court to replace ALL THE STUFF  he swiped from me 
,,,,they paid me ...



oops.,...
Icom's price was about $300....FOR THE HEAD
