[JRC] jst-245

[yash at aol.com]

Hi to all
  new to this reflector,but have had jrc gear since it came on the us 
market. Have several questions to ask.
1. the switching power supply on my jst245  sn# RG02114 ,after reading 
a lot of info is starting to make me paranoide about switching on the 
rig. Is there any one in the world, that can repair the supply and or 
the rig in general. I have not been able to get my hands on the service 
manual...if there is one.... with the manual ,I wouldn't feel so 
aprehensive about the 245 as I service most of my own gear already... 
any source for the shop manual?
2. would like to pick up the 1.8 ssb filters for the rig .....anyplace 
to get them? also the monitor board. I checked with Inrad on the 
filters  they seem not interested.
3. the matching speaker ...nva-319 or the 88  any one have one for sale 
before I try universal for a new one.
4. are there any other user groups for jrc gear anywhere.

any help on this ,would be greatful ,really feel alone with this 
jst-245.
thanks
