[Yaesu] FT-8900 repair

[Mike Besemer (WM4B)]

Well, it's been a long time, but I committed a stupidity yesterday and blew
up the mic preamp (I think) in my FT-8900.  I was experimenting with setting
up an Echolink node and apparently fed too much audio into the mike jack,
most probably taking out the mike preamp.  (I haven't opened it up yet, but
that's what I suspect after looking at the schematic.)

 

I don't know if I'll feel ambitious enough to try to repair it myself...
I'll have to look at it first.  Assuming that I do, does anyone know where I
can get an NJM2904V (it appears to be a dual op-amp) in small quantities?  I
just placed an order with Mouser recently, so I don't really want to have to
work up a minimum order again, plus pay shipping.  A vendor sample would be
great!

 

Short of that, if I decide to send it off, where's a good place to send it?

 

Thanks to all,
