I've got an IFR1000A that I have to whack once in a while. OK for FM
work, but not really stable enough for SSB. It needs a good cleaning
and probably caps.

Do any of you guys know how to fix a Com 120A? Stole one at an employee
auction and it worked for about a month. Won't boot now, just beeps at
me. Haven't had time to crack the cover.
