I do have a 250/375-Watt MICOR VHF Base Station/Repeater service manual, but the 2-Meter range PA parts are no longer available from Motorola. They were ridiculously expensive when they were available ($900+ for just the replacement plate line, and Motorola only had one in stock back in the early 1990's). That's why I just went with the rebuilding of several 100-watt PA decks from 160 MHz down to the 2-Meter range. Those were a lot of work and cost about $150 in parts (50+ parts to change out), but lots less than the 375-Watt PA would have cost to rebuild.
