I envy you guys them nice old radios that are still working. Have you done repairs or had it been recapped at least? Or is it still all in stock condition? My father inlaw who passed away some 15 years ago left two IC-735's that was working before but both were shelved in the same number of years. Now it just turn ON and nothing. How I wish I could have it back on the air coz I can't and may never afford to buy one.
@@jimw7ryWow, hank you so much for the reply. I have already made an order for the caps kit from Klondike Mike's caps for the 735. I do have a little bit of electronics background. And since good techs are hard to find from where I'm at, with a little patience and my motivation to have this up and running again, I believe I can do this. Besides, it's part of the hobby and the satisfaction when things work out fine. Again, thank you sir and all the best to you and your family. 73, Jun, DW1QEW.

Your 735 needs new VCO caps. Not an easy job because you have to remove the soldered on shields. But easy for the right tech.

I had the 761.. much better receiver
Why do hams always got to one up other hams by saying stupid stuff like I had one better
@@miker8379 jealousy. the 765 has a far far better receiver than the 761, i had both of them and KNOW for sure.
Sherwood rates the 765 above the 761 in selectivity and sensitivity.
@@miker8379he never had a IC-765.
