Hi Justin, and Pro-2006'ers,

  I'm not an expert on this, but if you have rust or corrosion from moisture or battery leakage, this may be the beginning of even worse problems.    If you have not already done so, find a chemical appropriate for cleaning circuit boards; that is, a chemical that will not damage the circuit board traces or leads on the components.   Once corrosion starts, it spreads, and you might not be able to stop it otherwise.  Corroded circuit boards are not easily repairable, and often are not repairable.

  Second, I doubt that Radio Shack has parts for this radio anymore, unless they are standard components.   It's also very likely that Radio Shack won't service a scanner that is this old.  Check the Radio Shack website to see.

  Third, if you insist on another Pro-2006, you can find them for sale on scanner websites such as www.radioreference.com, or at a large hamfest.    That may be a more viable solution.

   Good luck.
