[LARC-CQ] ICOM 751A

[Price Gillum]

I can, I’m on the northside so Polk city is no problem. I do have a 30 amp power supply. So whenever is convenient for you is good with me.

It followed me to Belgium where I operated as ON8UA and Germany as DA2CY but work prevented it from getting used very much.  After I returned to operating as K7UPJ in Maryland it did a great job getting WAS and DXCC.  But after moving to Florida and getting an ICOM 756ProIII it was put back into its original box and has not been on the air for years.

I tested it and transmit works but receive is noisy and weak,  So it is not as great as it used to be therefore I can’t sell it as being in excellent condition.  It probably needs some new capacitors but I don’t know where to find someone who will work on something this old and I can’t justify the time and effort required to fix it up as I don’t need it and don’t have time.  So do I just take it to the dump where they take old electronics?

>>> That seems like such a waste. I would rather someone have it to play with or maybe find someone who can bring it back up to full capability.  So it is going to the first Ham who wants it and agrees to pick it up. It includes the matching microphone and power cord.  The only thing I ask is if they are able to make it fully operational they let me know how they enjoy it.
