In 1981 I bought my first "real" receiver (a Sony ICF-6800W) after
saving my money bagging groceries for an eternity after school and
weekends. What absolute heaven for a radio geek in the making! My
love and understanding of ham radio really started with this receiver,
the culmination of which has been building my K2 (topic).
Unfortunately, a near lightning strike disabled the 6800 in the
mid-80's, and it's been sitting quietlly with me since, still in mint
condition on the outside but only the FM module functioning on the
inside. Given its age I understand this is a very longshot, but I'm
wondering if anyone could recommend someone qualified who might be
able to take a look (for $ of course) and either serve as a performing
surgeon or (more likely) pronouncing mortician. The beast is very
complicated and well beyond my ability to deal with, and Sony Customer
Service has been zero help. Thought I'd take a chance and see if
anyone had any ideas they might e-mail me. Thanks much. John / K0YQ
