Group-
Having recently sold my Omni VI+ to a nice fellow out east, when it arrived
(Carefully padded, and double boxed), the S-meter bulb doesn't work and several
segments of the digital frequency readout do not work. The other segments
appear bright in the photo he emailed me. I guess I packed it to survive a kick
off a 4' high lift-gate, and the gorillas kicked this one off a 5' high gate.
UGGGH! Is there any particular (Easy to get to) connector this fellow can try
to "wriggle", to see if the solution to the partial readout can be easily had?
He's willing to replace the bulb for the meter...... He's on Cape Cod, if
anyone is interested in being a hero to both of us ;-).
Thanks in advance for any tips-
Greg, KC8HXO

If it's the same board as the Omni V, there are soldered wires passing
from one side of the display board to the other, some under socketed chips.
Those wires must have been floor sweepings; they have corroded in
my O-5 a time or two. Heat them with a small soldering iron or replace
them with copper....and you will be in business!
You will have to study the thing carefully to find the pass-thrus, but it
is an easy fix if you are careful.
The Omni-V and Omni-VI are great radios!
