[ICOM] IC-781 Top CoverLaches

[Joseph M. Kozak]

Good evening Frank. On the 781 the latches are black plastic sliding latches. They are different than the push button laches that are found on the Icom 765 and a few other Icom rigs. I have my fingers crossed that you can locate some 781 latches. One of mine cracked and I would really like to replace it. 
Thanks for your help. 
Best regards and Happy New Year,
Joe, W1AO
