[R-390] PTO Problems

[Jon Schlegel]

Hi all,

The PTO shaft seemed way too stiff so I opened it up and found this 
amazing colony of crystalline entities growing all over inside.  It's 
a real mess.  It looks like it had a LOT of moisture in it at one 
time but the rest of the receiver doesn't really show signs of water 
problems.  Nevertheless the PTO looks original to the receiver (both Motorola).

Should some kind of repair attempt be made or should go out with next 
Thursday's trash?  I have an interesting photo but I suppose that 
would be inappropriate for the list.

Regards,
Jon
