I agree about collecting Micor parts ... goes for GE-cor (Ok, Mastr II) too. The manufacturers haven't been supporting those radios in a very long time, you you don't sandbag for the day when you might need some spare parts, who will? I nearby friend just unloaded 8 more Micor

You should see about 350-500 milliwatts going to the pa deck and the bias/control line must be connected properly to the station frame. Many times I see these stations for sale at hamfests with the jumper wire allowing the pa to run only full-tilt-boogey, which is why they crash and burn so often
