[ICOM] ic-737a question

[John Miller]

Hi, if anyone's still on this group anymore I have a question. I got
an ic-737a, with shipping damage, a fix up project. I've been fixing
up other radios for a while now for fun, never took on one of these
rarer ones before. I haven't got in to it yet, based on how it was
packed I'm thinking the tuning dial is the key to the damage. Is this
control the same as other Icom radios? I know with another brand I
work with a lot most of them are the same. I'm also looking for the
front panel if I might find one, I'm not sure what else is wrecked, it
doesn't look bad from pictures just the display is cracked and the way
it's packed I'll guarantee the main tuning dial, the control is a
loss. Anyone familiar with this radio? Have any ideas what else I
might need to be careful of? I'm not going to get to get in to it for
a couple weeks yet so I haven't looked at the radio or service manual
or anythign yet, just curious on really sourcing the parts I know
about. Some radio parts are all over ebay but not for this one but I
dont' know if anything's the same as other radios or anything. I don't
think it's all that bad in reality.
