Gary-
I am interested in the filter cover, speaker bracket, synth board and
possibly fan.
Please let me know $. If the reserve is enough on the synth board, I will
take that for sure.
They are to go with my still dead 565. I know it has a problem on the CPU
board
but have not given up. Also, I might be interested in that board at the
back of the radio
along with the back sheet metal. The one with the antenna connectors and
relays.
If cheap enough, I think it will make a good donor to a hack-brew antenna
switch
to use with my 599.
