[ICOM] Fw: R71A Trimmer Cap Sources

[Larry Young]

Tom: Take a look at Scott Malcom's web page. Scott operates MTS (Malcom Technical Services), and his tips page has pictures of the old and new ceramic replacement caps. An e-mail to Scott would likely  get all the info you require.

You don't want to use the same plastic trimmer caps. Icom had some ceramic
replacements that
cures this VCO trimmer problem.
They may still have them, contact Icom tech support and they should be able
to give
you the part numbers for the ceramics.

Hello Group



Does anybody know sources for the infamous trimmer caps that need to be
replaced in the R71A?  I am looking for the manufacturer and part numbers.



My 30 year old R71A has developed the raspy audio disease and is in need of
some tender loving care, aka a trimmercapacitorectomy.



Many thanks
