Today I acquired...........

[Rannsachair]

£8 buy:
All Whitworth, 3/8 die missing, though I have one already, just too large an outside diameter for this set

 

[Farside]

Nice radio

It's turning out a cracking purchase.
Sure, I was (am) quite happy with the elderly Icoms, but the opportunity to twiddle with this is fantastic.
If I twiddle it just right I can make it sound like a 40 year old IC735, and that's no bad thing.

quite happy with the elderly Icom

Nice radio

Nice package turned up today.

Congrats!

Speaking of Icom:

I've been looking for a stepper motor for the autotuner in an IC-775DSP for years - in between also forgetting about it for years -
any idea in which direction I could look there????

Thank you.

I'll bet there were tears in your eyes when you were paying for that.

If he's right, it'll feed him for a day. If he's wrong, it'll feed him for the rest of his life...

Smarted a little but not as much as if I'd had to pay for the rip that's the M class . It is tax deductable though the books .

No idea, offhand; but ask in the forums at Eham.net or qrz.com and somebody will know if anyone has parts still knocking around.
For example, if the optical encoder behind the VFO knob of the 735 had gone tits-up, I could have found one, not from Icom.

Thank you two!

@Farside - very familiar names, thanks.
It's amazing how you forget things that were once very important to you when life circumstances change.

@redlig - I'm going to find out if the two are in any way comparable, (then you'll get pm).

EDIT: way too big is my first impression, mni tnx
