Remove Excessive Wax ...
The Icom America Knowledge Base is really helpful if you want to repair or just inspect your Icom Radio. Some weeks ago I’ve bought an old Icom IC-765 for the club station at the university where I’ve studied. This IC-765 has a typical failure. Some plastic trimmer capacitors on the PLL unit are faulty and have to be replaced by ceramic ones. There is a document about this in the Knowledge Base which states “Remove excessive wax from around replacement trimmers to prevent wax contamination”.
Wow! Great hint!
