[ICOM] Tough Icom rigs

[Larry Young]

A  "model T" was tough and easy to maintain. I've seen pictures of them on rut and muddy roads, but I still would not want one as my main transportation vehicle!

Which of the older Icoms are the toughest ones made?  Tough meaning they have a metal front panel instead of the plastic now used, and metal shafts for the controls, etc.  I think the 730 and 740 might fall into this category, correct?
